Exquisite Exhibition Center
The Weegee Exhibition Center is a huge complex originally designed as a printing house by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori. Inside the building you can find EMMA (Espoo Museum of Modern Art), KAMU (Espoo City Museum), Finnish Museum of Horology, Finnish Toy Museum, Helinä Rautavaara Museum, Gallery AARNI and Espoo School of Arts. Over 20 000 square meters contains also two little museum shops, lockers for visitors, one organic café, loads of different spaces for conferences and different interactive workshops (mostly for kids). The exhibition center is mostly for contemporary art, but it is open to very different kinds of art pieces as well. There was loads of space and different places to experience art and museum pieces. Highlights of the visit were the little children´s toy museum and Helina Rautavaara´s collection of treasures all over the world. The staff was very friendly and organic products in the café were interesting and tasty. It is a perfect place for art and museum lovers. Even you try to see everything pretty fast it takes hours to complete all of the exhibitions provided. Tip: You can get inside to all of the exhibitions for free every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Great Museum!
The WeeGee consists of five museums in only one giant building. It's totally convenient for visitors- even on a day with many tourists we had very much space in this huge museum. There are even lockers for visitors. The WeeGee offers permanent and temporary exhibitions so I can't speak for every exhibition, but those we saw were really great. The Museum is only 10 minutes by car or by bus from the center of Helsinki and parking is available. It was a great hot summer's day so we took a stroll through the Tapiola area- it's really worth it. It was a garden city once with lots of green areas- traces of this can still be seen, it's really beautiful and worth a visit!
