Arkkitehtuurimuseo MFA

The Museum of Architecture is a human-sized museum. We strive to provide diverse perspectives, discussion topics, and personal experiences in architecture. Our goal is to activate people's connection to the built environment and provide tools for understanding architecture.

The Museum of Architecture (formerly the Museum of Finnish Architecture) is a nationwide specialty museum with internationally significant, extensive collections and a central role in its domestic and international activities. The museum was founded in 1956 and is the world's second oldest museum of architecture.

The museum is located in a neo-Renaissance building in the district of Design District in Helsinki, Finland and in a wooden villa in Kaivopuisto. The museum has for a long time been seeking access to business premises that would be more suitable for museum activities.
