Suomen Kansallismuseo

I visited the place in 2023 and it was a very good experience. There were lots of things to see and read/ learn. I would recommend it to everyone. The price is reasonable!

The collection is rich, varied and there is so much to learn and discover…We spent over three hours in the museum and did not even stop to read everything, and neither used the audio guides. It is my first time in Finland and I have no knowledge of its history and culture. The items and the rooms’ introduction panels gave me many insights without being boring lecture. Looking forward to its re-opening in 2027!

We only had a couple of hours to see Finland. So my partner recommended this museum as a great option. We both enjoy museums. ,☺ I was very impressed with all the details and different interpretations of languages. They have a cafe downstairs and 2 sets of bathrooms. The museum was very informative about Finland's history from 1917 to 2017. Could have used a little bit more time but it was a great visit. 👍

For 1st-time visitor to Finland, this is a must visit. Especially if you know nothing about the country's past and is keen to find out. It's a small museum so all you need to spare is a couple of hours. We went at 4pm on Jan 22, 2023 and it wasn't overly crowded. Lockers of varying sizes are available to store your belongings. Ticket price was 11€ per person.

This is a very unique museum. It usually takes around 4 hours if you are an art & history enthusiast, other than that 3 hours is probably enough. All the descriptions are available in English and have timeline included. The system is very interactive and you won't get bored. It offers free entry on every Friday fom 4pm-6pm. It's a must visit place in Helsinki.

Truly an amazing museum if you like history and relics from Finland. You have to step away your bags and coats in lockers provided which are free. You can pick up the tokens near the lockers. The staff are so friendly and their memories are top notch. The displays are great. Most museums have lots of activities especially for children but adults can have fun too.

This museum was really interesting and had lots of history and neat things to see. I highly recommend take a trip to see it. Have free lockers to put your stuff in also. There is a cafe but we didn't eat in it. Looked nice though. Gift shop had some finds for us to bring back.

I was lucky enough to visit the museum before its renovation project began. I can say this place is awesome; there are lots of fascinating collections and interesting things to learn about. Staff was helpful and friendly. Plus, student discount, even when coming from abroad. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again in the near future after expansion is completed.

This is our family favorite, absolutely fantastic museum! Great changing exhibitions and a wonderful collection of the Finnish history. Full of information and great experience also for kids. Many fantastic features, such as time trip to Finnish heavy metal music and predicting the future president.

This museum offers so much more than its size would suggest. There are lots of sections to wander through to discover the history of Finland from prehistoric times to now. Take your time to wander through and take it all in. From the history of the sauna to modern heavy metal, you'll find so much to see and do!

Okay museum to check out if you're visiting Helsinki housed inside an old church that tells the story of the history of Finland from the Stone Age to the 19th century. I did feel that the layout was a tad confusing and for €10, it's a fairly small museum. If you purchase the Helsinki Pass I would do it if it's raining but other than that, it wasn't the most interesting museum I ever been to. Plus it was super packed so it made getting around a bit of a challenge.

This is a must-visit! The prehistory portion (Stone-Bronze-Iron-Viking) is modern and well done with multimedia content that provides context and enhances the artifacts; audio-visual, pieces available to touch, modern rendering of how items were worn or created. Superbly done. The medieval through 19th century art and artifacts are an impressive collection. It's mostly baroque paintings, medieval through 19th century furniture, and an entire room devoted to Christian based art pieces from medieval churches. The virtual reality feature in the throne room was fun! Signs are in Swedish, Finnish and English. I really took my time and also visited the temporary Barbie exhibit (remaining until Aug 28 2018), and I was in the museum for about 3 hours but I read nearly every thing possible. Could definitely be enjoyed in less time if you don't have that much time.
