Of you want to experience what Finnish art is about, this is the place to visit. Here are displayed the classics of Finnish art and how we as a nation express ourselves through art. Through these artworks we defined ourselves what we are as a rather young independent nation. Nature played, and still does, a big part of our identity. This is evident in many paintings in Ateneum and in one and two euro coins. By visiting here you can see what we were and reflect what we are at the moment. We have made a giant leap from mainly agricultural society to high tech modern country in a hundred years as an independent country. In Ateneum you can see where we come from and what is important for us still today. Highly recommended.

Museum is situated in the very heart of Helsinki in the interesting building that would be worth to visit just because of the building. Gallery has a remarkable collection of Finnish arts and some interesting pieces from international painters/artists as well. It's definitely worth to visit.

Lovely experience, it was an honor to find one of Victor Hugo’s paintings there, although the pathway through the museum can be a bit confusing specially on the last floor, it is quite interesting to see such a diverse style in every floor, in addition to that, the museum also has a great variety of time periods, some taken this year. While prices are not cheap even for students, the museum is filled with interesting arts that would take a minimum of 2 hours to see everything.

Great wayto view the history of Finland through the art movements that were present here in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Ateneum named for the goddess Athena, who protects the arts, opened in 1888. It is a beautiful classical style building and it's easy to move through it.

Very good museum on Finnish art. Not all names are well known but most of the lesser known names had quite beautiful works there. The presentation of the world is also very good with able light and little glare.
