Discover more about Hämeenlinna Art Museum

The Hämeenlinna Art Museum, established in 1952, is a vibrant center for visual arts located near the heart of Hämeenlinna. The museum operates within two buildings in the Verkatehdas area, presenting a wide array of temporary exhibitions that highlight various forms of visual arts. These exhibitions include both historical Finnish art and the latest contemporary styles, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for every visitor. The museum's foundation lies in the works evacuated from the Viipuri Art Museum in 1939 during the war. Over the years, the collection has grown to include significant pieces such as Albert Edelfelt's 'Larin Paraske,' Akseli Gallen-Kallela's 'The Departure of Väinämöinen,' and Victor Westerholm's 'The Post Office Landing Site at Eckerö'. In 1997, the Lohrmann storehouse was renovated to house the contemporary art collection of Henna and Pertti Niemistö, which primarily features Finnish paintings and sculptures from the 1950s to the present. The museum is committed to accessibility, with elevators in both buildings and full wheelchair access. The location also provides parking for disabled visitors in the museum courtyard. Brochures about Hämeenlinna and the surrounding Häme area are available at the ticket desk, along with art books, postcards, and posters in the museum shop.
