Ateneum (the National Gallery)

  • April 8, 2001

Ateneum (the National Gallery)

I have to admit that I went through the Ateneum fairly quickly, so I didn't really get a chance to have the slow museum experience. If you want to get a sense of traditional Finnish art, the Ateneum is the place to go. It houses Finnishes works from the 18th century to the 1950's, from painting to sculpture and even some photography. The museum itself is small and manageable, so you can spend a quiet afternoon there. If you're interested in more contemporary art, head for the Kiasma museum where I've been told has a great architectural space.
