In the center of Helsinki, you can see one of Finland's largest private collections of fine art, assembled by the outstanding publisher and public figure Amos Anderson.
In 1965, a museum opened in the building that housed his apartment, office, and shop. The house, built in 1913 as an artist's studio, is notable for its distinctive architecture — it even has a small private chapel. On the upper floors, you can see original interiors, household items, and a small collection of European painting from the 15th-18th centuries, while the ground floor is entirely devoted to an extensive exhibition of 20th-century Finnish art.
Later, another collector, architect Sigurd Frosterus, donated his collection to the museum, significantly enriching the exhibition. At present, the museum's holdings contain more than 7000 paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Thematic exhibitions and events are also held here regularly, and there is a cafe and a souvenir shop.
In the warmer months, you can also visit the museum's branch — Söderlångvik, located in Amos Anderson's former country villa.
