The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki illustrates Finnish history from prehistoric times to the 19th century.
The museum's unique exhibits tell of life from a period of over 10 000 years.
The National Museum building was designed by the Finnish architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen.
With its granite façade and steatite decoration, the building is one of Finland's most significant national-romantic works of architecture.
