In Helsinki, there are a lot of interesting places! Many here and very curious Museums . About them for a start.
Most of all I was struck by the Museum of Contemporary Art "Kiasma".
It is located almost at the station, at Mannerheiminaukio 2. Kiasma is a real explosion of contemporary art, oddities and surprises.
Even the building itself is rather unusual. The museum is more than 8,000 exhibits that are located on several floors: bizarre figures, some dark rooms with children's cribs, huge wooden matryoshki, curved animal horns, etc.
All this is accompanied by art hassized films on flat TVs on the walls. The museum is incredibly spacious. On the top floor - a workshop for children, where children with teachers are pushed, draw, build.
Persons under 18 years old entrance to the museum is free.The museum has permanent exhibitions, as well as temporary. In Kiasma Theater there are performances of musicians, composers, dancers, actors.
Lectures and business seminars also take place in the museum. In short, a universal museum, more than the museum. Every first Friday of the month is free (from 17:00 to 20.30). Login costs € 8-10. The museum is open every day, except Monday, from 10 am to 17 or 18 hours (from Wednesday to Friday to 20.30). First of all, to go to "Kiasma", it really is worth it!
Further, National Museum of Finland . Located at Mannerheimintie 34, as you understand, not far from Kiasma, or rather, an 8-minute walk from it. The museum can be seen from afar: a harsh medieval castle with a high tower.
I advise you to stockday and patience: unlike Kiasma, there are even more exhibits, and they are all insanely interesting. Each floor and hall represents a certain period of life of the country, that is, from ancient boat and weapons to the last ten.
Moreover, the previous century is divided for decades, which makes the view even more fascinating. Madly interesting! We kept three hours at the museum, not less! Luxury paintings, installations, costumes! The museum is open from 11 to 18 hours from Wednesday to Sunday, on Tuesday the museum is open until 20:00. Ticket price - € 7. Every Thursday from 17:30 before closing the entrance is free.
The next standing museum - "Amos Anderson Gallery".
Located a museum on Yrjönkatu 27 (7 minutes from the railway station from the railway station and two steps from Camppy). The museum on several floors exposed pictures of modern Finnish artists.
The place is entertaining and budget: only 2 euros for students, for the rest (adults) - € 8-10, pensioners - € 6-8, people up to 18 years old entrance is free. The museum works like this: Mon, Thu, Fri - 10: 00-18: 00, Wednesday - 10: 00- 20:00, Sat and SPR -11: 00-17: 00. On Tuesdays, the museum is closed.
"Hakasalmi Villa" On Mannerheimintie 13 D almost opposite the National Museum - as well as a pretty museum.
In the museum, as interesting expositions representing the history of Finland (but smaller than in national).
There are many such nostalgic black and white photos, household items of the mid 50s, and a lot of different things.
The entrance is free! The museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday, on the other days it works from 11: 00-17: 00 (and until 19:00 on Thursdays). In addition, near the museum is a very pretty park with flower beds.
If you are a lover of plants and colors, the mercy please "Kaisaniemi Botanical Gardens", That you mean, Botanical Garden.
It is located at Unioninkatu 44, it can be reached on foot - 15 minutes walk from the railway station. The garden is open year-round, and it is especially nice to visit it in winter. The Botanical Garden contains the most unthinkable plants and flowers, cacti and so on.
There is a greenhouse and an open-air garden. Orangery is open from 10 am to 4 or 6 pm (in summer longer). The garden is open from 9 am to 8 pm. Entrance to the territory of the garden is free, in the greenhouse - 4-8 euros (in winter and in summer every first Thursday of the month from 16: 00- 18:00 and from 15:00 -17: 00 is free of charge).
Very entertaining (especially for children) Museum - "NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM" (Museum of natural science, at Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu 13, it is 7-8 minutes of walking from the station).
The museum contains skeletons of dinosaurs in full growth, stuffed animals and different other exhibits. The Museum employs permanent exhibitions (Finnish Nature, The History of Life, World Nature, Story of the Bones).

The entrance to the museum is 10 euros for adults and 5 for children. Each first Thursday of the month - the entrance is free from 16-18 hours in winter and from 15-17 in summer.
Another botanical garden - "TÖÖLÖ WINTER GARDEN" On Hammarskjöldintie 1b.
In this winter garden, an amazing collection of cacti is collected. The greenhouse is small, but quite pleasant. To find it, however, is not easy: you need to get to the tram 2, 4, 4th to Töölön Halli station and then get around the stadium and go to the forest. Because this winter garden is in the forest, yes. The entrance to "Töölö Winter Garden" is free.
Fashion lovers and style - in the museum "DesignMuseo".
The museum has permanent exhibitions, for example, an exhibition dedicated to Finnish fashion from the 19th century to this day. These collections are very big and insanely interesting!
There are exhibitions of fashion designers here, which is also very interesting. Of course, there is a fashionable store with clothing and accessories, however, prices are not low. The entrance to the museum costs 10 € for adults, 8 € -for pioneers, 5 € -for students, children - free. Each last Tuesday of the month is free of charge from 17:00 to 20:00.

In winter on Mondays, the museum is closed, the summer museum works daily.
Not that it was a museum, but the place is unusual and attractive. This is a church Temppeliaukio..
"The church underground" is also called it, and indeed, on the one hand, it is completely unclear that there is such a luxurious church somewhere here. The church is built in the form of oval, a solarded plate, with a transparent ceiling (well, as transparent, not quite, but the light penetrates) and stone walls. Stunning sensations!
In the church amazing acoustics. The entrance to the church is free, but in the days of church events, the entrance is prohibited. Temppeliaukio is located at Lutherninkatu 3, a 12-minute walk from the city's railway station.
This, of course, is not the entire list, but these museums are very good and exactly worth visiting.
