Riihimäki Art Museum, Tavastia Proper, Finland
4.5 (11 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Riihimaki Art Museums
Interesting museum
The museum operates in a government office block built in 1963. The museum was opened to the public in 1995. An art and antique dealer Mr. Pentti Wähäjärvi and his wife Tatiana donated their collection, 2000 pieces of art and other objects to the City of Riihimäki in 1993. A part of that is on display here and it is regularly changed because the collection is too large for all items to be shown simultaneously. Now there were exhibitions: Female Artists and The Return of Birds - The Spring is coming. Both exhibitions display works mainly from Tatiana and Pentti Wähäjärvi Collection. In the Female Artist exhibition were many paintings from Helene Schjerfbeck. She is a famous Finnish painter, most widely known for her realist works and self-portraits. Beside these two exhibitions, there is a huge collection of Chinese porcelain.

Beautiful museum with interesting art,
Nice amount (meaning not too much) of beautiful Finnish paintings. Interesting exhibitions. The one with the naivistic art from Kati Mikkola is just excellent. Spacious building with a lot of light. Even the initially reluctant teenagers of the family liked the colorful exhibitions of Mikola downstairs and the art-workshop upstairs.
