Finland mixes design, saunas and forest myths – and its museums show all three, from Helsinki's Ateneum to Alvar Aalto's buildings and the Lapland of the Sámi.
In Helsinki the Ateneum holds the golden age of Finnish painting, Kiasma shows the art of today, Amos Rex opens under a square of glowing domes, and the Design Museum tells how Finnish glass, fabric and furniture conquered the world. A ferry takes you to the sea fortress of Suomenlinna, and a bridge to the open-air museum of Seurasaari. Turku, the old capital, has its castle and cathedral; Tampere has the Moomin Museum with Tove Jansson's own drawings; Jyväskylä is the city of Alvar Aalto; and in Lapland, Rovaniemi's Arktikum and the Siida museum in Inari tell of the Arctic and the Sámi people. After the museums, do as the Finns do: go to the sauna. This museumtickets.com guide follows Finland from the Kalevala to Nokia, region by region.
