Friends of the Museum

The purpose of Helsingin kaupunginmuseon ystävät ry (Friends of the Helsinki City Museum Association) is to support the work of the Helsinki City Museum and raise Helsinkians’ awareness of museum operations.

The association provides its members with opportunities to deepen their knowledge of the history of Helsinki and the surrounding areas by arranging a wide range of activities. It organises presentations and discussions on interesting topics as well as expert-guided trips and visits to various locations, including places that are not commonly open to the public. The association was founded in 1988, and it has over 400 members.
