Cygnaeus Gallery, Art museum in Kaivopuisto, Helsinki, Finland.
The Cygnaeus Gallery sits inside a residential building designed by architect Frithiof Mieritz. The house holds a collection of around 200 art pieces from the 19th century.
Fredrik Cygnaeus, a professor of aesthetics, founded the gallery between 1869 and 1870. After his death, he left it to the Finnish nation through his will in 1881.
The museum bears the name of its founder Fredrik Cygnaeus and displays works by Finnish artists in rotating exhibitions. The rooms retain the character of a private art house from the 19th century.
The space is manageable and easy to walk through, with a clear layout for exploring. Visitors should allow about 1 to 2 hours for a relaxed visit.
The museum functions as Finland's oldest continuously operating art gallery and preserves the personal collection of its founder. This private collection was never commercialized and has kept its original integrity.
