Turku Art Museum

Granite hilltop art museum with Finnish classics, contemporary exhibitions, and city views.

Turku Art Museum sits on a hill above the centre in a handsome granite building, which already makes the visit feel slightly ceremonial. Inside, the collection covers Finnish art from national-romantic painting to modern and contemporary work, with changing exhibitions adding variety.

It is a strong complement to Turku Castle and the cathedral because it shifts the city from medieval history to modern Finnish culture. Leave a little time for the approach and the views back over town.
