Description:
- In this museum you can admire the spectacular work of Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931). Before it was converted into a museum it was the artist's studio and home. Gallen-Kallela himself designed this Jugend-style building, made in 1911-1913. Here you will see some of his paintings, drawings, posters, graphic work, photographs and sculptures. The museum also has a café and restaurant, in the wooden Alberga manor built in the 1850s. Three or four temporary exhibitions are held each year. You can get to the museum on tram 4, walking the two-kilometer (one mile) stretch from Laajalahden Aukio to the museum.
