The wonderful Hämeenlinna Art Museum is located in the Verkatehdas area in close proximity to the Hämeenlinna city centre. The museum has expanded into two buildings and its exhibition spaces present examples of Finnish and international visual art from different periods and styles.

Opened in 1952, the Art Museum's collection provides a cross-section of Finnish art, including treasures 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'.
