Do not miss this museum. Excellent displays. We went with two kids (8 and 5). It was perfect. The information about various ecosystems was super informative.

This Empire style charming villa is centrally located next to Finlandia Hall near Töölönlahti bay. The villa hosts temporary exhibitions. At the moment, there is an interesting photo exhibition. Ismo Hölttö photographed Helsinki and its residents in the 1960s, recording daily life during the decade of change.

Would you like to act, direct or create costumes? In Theatre Museum you can play the lead if you want! At numerous points throughout the exhibition you can try things yourself, see how things work, experience the thrill and joy of performing. On display are costumes, set models and props – get a feel for the theatre at close quarters. The temporary exhibitions complement the permanent exhibition.
We did not have high expectations going to this museum, but we were surprised. There are many interactive displays where kids can put on theater costumes and create their own show. The place was nearly empty when we got there, and the stage was free for the kids to play. We spent several hours there and had to leave when the place was closing, without even seeing all the rooms. A wonderful place if your kids are into acting.
