A visit to Helsinki’s Open Air Museum at Seurasaari, for instance, shows how traditional woodworking laid the foundations for modern crafts and design. Meanwhile, the art museums of the capital house an eclectic range of visual arts, from the early 20th-century self-styled ‘national cosmopolitanism’ of Akseli Gallen-Kallela in the Museum of the Ateneum to the more challenging installations and sculptures on display in Kiasma, the Museum of Contemporary Art. And if you still hunger for the arts, treat your ears with top-class music from every genre in concert halls and at festivals of jazz, opera, chamber music, rock and folk in every corner of the country.
