The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki presents the country's history from prehistoric times to the present in a building whose romantic architecture evokes a medieval castle and church. Its tower and stone facade are landmarks along one of the city's main avenues, while the entrance hall is decorated with frescoes drawn from national epic poetry. The mix of striking architecture and broad historical coverage makes it a central institution for understanding the nation's past.
