 Art to play with |
30 Annankatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 169 3747 |
The Annantalo arts centre for children and the young is a beautiful old wooden building in Kamppi, behind Forum. This lovely place has art courses, but for the visitor, more interesting are the exhibitions, aimed mainly at children of various ages. There may be several exhibitions at one time, one lasting usually from a few weeks to several months. The centre is very spacious, and many exhibitions are to be played with (or in). The curators take into account what keeps children interested and what art means to them. There is also a café, though its open hours are slightly different than the centre's. If you plan to go during the week, remember than until the afternoon it might be full of kindergarten groups. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Doll and Toy Museum |
C 66 Suomenlinna Helsinki 00190 Finland +358 9 668 417 http://www.suomenlinna.fi/suom... |
The Doll and Toy Museum, one of the various museums in Suomenlinna, has a collection of over 2,000 toys (dolls, dolls' houses, teddy bears, toy cars, etc) dating from 1830 onwards. The small, cosy museum also includes a quaint café. Visiting this old Russian villa is worthwhile especially if you are visiting Suomenlinna anyway. In addition to the toys there is also a collection of Russian samovars and the museum also holds special exhibitions. To get to Suomenlinna take a ferry from the Market Square.
