The National Museum will open in April 2027. We are currently building our content and services to their full extent. The renewed complex gives us entirely new opportunities to showcase our extensive national collections and to tell stories about history and cultures in a way that speaks to audiences today and in the future, as well as learners of different ages.

Our group and guided tour services offer perspectives on the renewed National Museum, from the iconic Tower to the new underground exhibition spaces. A wide range of guided tours of different lengths, exhibition introductions and experiences for groups and individual visitors is on the way.

We are now accepting bookings for the renovated meeting and function spaces in the Main Building for 2027. More high-quality event spaces will be made available for booking later. Guests can spend a moment surrounded by history, architecture, culture, design and art. The venue rental always includes free admission to the exhibitions in the National…

Opened as a museum in 1987, Tamminiemi Villa was the official residence of Presidents Ryti, Mannerheim and Kekkonen and the stage of many political negotiations and resolutions. However, Tamminiemi is best known for the 25-year presidency of Urho Kekkonen, during which time the name of Tamminiemi became a concept in its own right in Finnish political life and vocabulary. today, visitors can experience the villa just as it was in the 1970s, when the presidential couple still lived there.

Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, which opened in 1909, is a place for visitors of all ages. When you arrive on the island, you are immediately transported to a rural landscape from the olden days, far away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The Seurasaari Open-Air Museum’s 89 museum buildings have been relocated from different parts of Finland. The oldest log buildings date back to the late 17th century. Inside the houses, visitors can experience everyday life in the 19th and 20th centuries, and occasionally moments of celebration as well. The museum is open during the summer season until 15 September.

The renewed National Museum will open in spring 2027 following the biggest transformation in its history.
