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.

Love it that the appreciation of graffiti as art has reached Finland and much respect to taidehalli for this show. The EGS exhibition was excellent and showed that the historic surroundings of taidehalli are fit for all sorts of art.

We all love old computers and now Verkkokauppa com and private collector Mr. Ari Tommiska want to share a very unique collection for free for all enthusiasts and visitors. The museum has an amazing display of old computers and gaming consoles from Ari's private collection. He's been collecting old computers and gaming consoles since 1984 and now for the first time the collection is available for public display. We hope this collection will bring back good old memories!
I guess you're either into vintage gaming, or you're not. You can see warplane museums in many cities of the world. There are less places to find vintage gaming museums that are free. Looking at the old Atari gaming system, with the fake wooden paneling, brings me back.

I always love to visit the museum of photography when coming to Helsinki. This time they exhibited pictures of Finnish everyday life and negative portraits of Tanzanian youths. I like the location of the museum in the old cable factory. Lunch in the restaurant Hima&Sali is worth trying too!
