Helsinki City Museum

The Helsinki City Museum is located at the corner of the Senate Square right in the heart of the city. Since its opening, it has been one of the most popular museums in Finland. The Helsinki City Museum has a wide range of exhibitions on display aimed at different audiences. The Children’s Town exhibition has been designed with the needs and wishes of families with children. The Helsinki Bites exhibition introduces visitors to memories and stories that are important for Helsinki residents. It focuses on people’s own experiences and everyday life. The museum’s temporary exhibitions, in turn, highlight alternative perspectives on the city’s history and enrich our understanding of the past.

The Helsinki City Museum wants to offer its visitors an unforgettable museum experience. In addition to interesting content, we have paid attention to the quality of our customer service and the comfort of all customer areas. The museum has a museum shop and a café, El Fant. Free admission lowers the threshold for Helsinki residents to visit the museum and come back again. The museum also wants to activate Helsinki residents to participate in the planning of exhibitions and other content.
