Amos Andersons Hem

The Amos Anderson Art Museum in Helsinki is the largest private art museum in Finland and focuses primarily on twentieth-century visual art. The building on Yrjönkatu was originally built for newspaper publisher and art patron Amos Anderson, who left it to the public as a museum after his death. The extensive collection includes around six thousand works, among them paintings, sculptures, and prints, with an emphasis on Finnish modernism as well as international artists such as Tove Jansson and Paul Signac. You can also admire historic textiles, furniture, and Anderson's house organ from the chapel, which can no longer be played. Since the opening of the underground extension Amos Rex in 2018, the museum has enjoyed a new upswing.
