|
On the south side of Helsinki's Station Square is the National Museum of Art, usually known as the Ateneum after the name of the building it occupies (by C. T. Hoijer, 1884-87), which also houses the Finnish Academy of Art. This is Finland's finest art collection, mostly works of between 1700 and 1960. It is planned to house the collection of contemporary art in a gallery of its own.
