Kunsthalle Helsinki

Kunsthalle Helsinki is an art museum with white walls located near the Finnish Parliament building on Nervanderinkatu Street in Etu-Töölö. The building contains gallery spaces that display rotating exhibitions of contemporary and modern works.

The building was designed by architects Jarl Eklund and Hilding Ekelund in Nordic Classical style and opened to the public on March 3, 1928. It has remained largely unchanged in form and purpose since its establishment.

The space shapes how people in Helsinki engage with contemporary art today, serving as a venue where artists and visitors encounter new perspectives. Regular exhibitions allow different artistic voices to reach audiences throughout the year.

The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Wednesday and weekend hours until 17:00. The location is easily accessible on foot and situated in a lively neighborhood with good public transportation connections.

The building is legally protected under Finnish heritage law, safeguarding both its outer architecture and the interior design features from modification. This protection ensures the space retains its original character as it continues to serve visitors.
