Fascinating and fun
I wasn't sure I had enough interest in Finnish history to stay the recommended 1.5 hours, but I ended up staying 3 hours (which included a trip to the cafe for a sandwich). Well laid out, interesting, lots of real artifacts. When you get to the room with the photos of Finlands leaders, don't scoot on by too fast. If you look at them for a few moments you'll be treated to a fun surprise.

Worth a short visit but could be improved upon.
This museum is challenged because it is situated in an old building - the curators have done a reasonable job of working within the parameters of the space. But the story of Finland could be much better - more detail about the origins of the country, more stories about the laplanders and Sami should be integrated. And if possible more interactivity would help in that section.
