Cygnaeus Gallery, Art museum in Kaivopuisto, Helsinki, Finland.

The Cygnaeus Gallery occupies a residential building designed by architect Frithiof Mieritz, displaying a collection of 200 Finnish art pieces from the 19th century.

Fredrik Cygnaeus, a professor of aesthetics, established the gallery between 1869 and 1870, later bequeathing it to the Finnish nation through his will in 1881.

The museum exhibits works by notable Finnish artists including Albert Edelfelt, the Von Wright brothers, Fanny Churberg, and Helene Schjerfbeck in rotating displays.

The gallery functions under the Finnish Heritage Agency management and serves as a venue for temporary exhibitions and concerts throughout the year.

This establishment holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating art museum in Finland, featuring the personal collection of Fredrik Cygnaeus.
