⭕️ Finnish Architectural Museum

In Helsinki, there is a professional architectural museum - the Finnish Architectural Museum. The Architecture Museum was established in 1956 and is the second oldest architecture museum in the world. The Finnish Architecture Museum has a large collection of archival pictures of buildings, about 100,000 prints and 30,000 slides, about 300,000 original drawings of Finnish architects, as well as some models representing architectural works.

Interestingly, it was originally established as an academic exchange between architects and urban planners. The original exhibits mainly came from architectural drawings collected by the Finnish Architectural Association, some of which became private collections in the museum... Architects and interior designers must go. Closed on Mondays.

⭕️ Finnish Museum of Natural History

Part of the University of Helsinki, this natural history museum dates back to the 17th century and was formerly the university's Botanical Garden.

There are four floors. It takes a long time to really walk around. But most of the exhibition does not have an English introduction (there should be a separate English booklet, but it is not found in the exhibition area), look a little confused.

The action of the animal specimen and the design of the scene are very vivid! Most of them have a clear movement such as hunting, running and so on, and there will be some corresponding herbs, woody plants and litter in the scene, feeling that they are trying to restore the natural environment.

Museum insect area can choose to carry the insect backpack to see the exhibition, the children are turned into small insects, very cute!! There are many children and big friends in sketching! Go paint next time.
