Finnish National Gallery, Art museum in Helsinki, Finland
The Finnish National Gallery comprises three separate museums displaying Finnish and international artworks across its exhibition spaces. The institutions showcase paintings, sculptures, and prints from diverse artistic movements and historical periods.
The institution was established in 1990 and underwent major restructuring in 2014 to consolidate Finland's principal art collections under unified administration. This reorganization allowed the gallery to better coordinate its national art offerings and improve public access.
The collection features works by Finnish painters such as Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Eero Järnefelt displayed alongside European masters from various periods. Visitors can explore the range of artistic traditions across the exhibition spaces.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, audio guides, and educational programs for different visitor groups. Information about hours of operation and current exhibitions can be found on the official website for planning your visit.
The gallery maintains specialized archives and reference materials that support research into Finnish art history. These collections are accessible to scholars and provide documentation of how Finnish artistic traditions have developed over time.
