Exhibitions

In Children’s Town, Helsinki’s past is illustrated by means of play and joint activities. Entrance to Children’s Town is always free of charge.

The Helsinki Bites exhibition dives into the past of Helsinki, bringing up common memories about the city’s history. Miniature Helsinki about the city in the 1870s, a thoroughly decorated 1950s apartment, and the interactive panorama experience are just some parts of Helsinki Bites.

The Helsinki City Museum whisks visitors away on a time-travelling expedition one hundred years into the past. The Time Machine makes the photographs of famous Helsinki photographer Signe Brander come to life with a little bit of help from new technology. Time travellers can also visit the courtyards and streets of 1960s, 1970s and 1980s Helsinki. Historical VR experience!

The photographic exhibition In the Quarters of Kruununhaka provides a glimpse into the life and history of the district over a period of about 100 years.

The exhibition on the fourth floor of the City Museum will showcase Helsinki as a place for food production throughout history and in the future. It will also ask the audience: What role will cities have in new and more sustainable food production and cuisine?
