Lonely Planet review for Kansallismuseo

Impressive Kansallismuseo resembles a Gothic church with its heavy stonework and tall-steeple tower, but actually opened in 1916. Inside the museum is divided into rooms covering different periods of Finnish history, including a large collection of prehistoric finds, church relics and cultural exhibitions. Look up for the vivid frescoes by Akseli Gallen-Kallela depicting scenes from the epic Kalevala, including one of the hero Väinämöinen plunging a stake into the giant pike.
