Tarvasp , designed by Gallen-Kallela himself, was completed in 1913 on a beautiful peninsula. Tarvasp has been a museum since 1959. The towered studio home is a three-part stone building, with a high studio built like a grey granite church, a big library and dwelling wing surrounded by round arches, and a tower rising from the edge of the cliffs between them. The museum has extensive archives. Tarvasp provides an ideal opportunity to become acquainted with the most remarkable achievements of the golden age of Finnish art, the paintings of Gallen-Kallela, and various temporary exhibitions.
Exhibitions cover a wide range of visual arts, industrial art and photography.
The trendy and functional Tennispalatsi contains Finnish and foreign temporary exhibitions. The Meilahti premises display the city's own collection of Finnish and foreign art. You can get to Meilahti on bus number 24. The Museum of Contemporary Art is an almost unavoidable stop for lovers of modern art. See Helsinki Top 20.
