What people say

"This is one of my favorite museums in the city! This museum helps you understand Finnish style and design and why practicality is such an important part of it. The museum also features some exhibits which you can touch and manipulate and the building itself is wonderful. It is currently located in the Design District which is full of quirky design stores so be sure to go for a walk around the area after you visit! It is also twinned with the Architecture Museum so you can use the same ticket to see them both, 2x1! NOTE: This museum will be moving to a new location in the near future, so be sure to check where it is before you visit! NOTE 2: The museum has different opening hours in the summer and winter, so make sure you check before going.
