The Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Design Museum, located in the Helsinki Design District, have excellent collections of the modern architecture and furniture for which Finland and Scandenavia are known.

Kiasma is Helsinki’s Modern Art Museum, designed by Steven Holl and located near the central rail station. Both the exhibit ‘Horror Vacui’ and the building were fantastic. The cafe and bookstore were also well worth the visit. Check out my photos page for more images of the building and interiors.
