Buildings and moving about

Helsinki City Museum consists of five old buildings and a new building joining them. One of the buildings is Helsinki’s oldest stone building, the Sederholm House, from 1757. Entrance to the museum takes place through the gateway and courtyard of Aleksanterinkatu 16.

Helsinki City Museum is accessible. The museum’s facilities are situated on different floors (1st, 2nd, and 4th floors) Each floor can be accessed by lift or stairs. The information desk, the coat racks and toilets as well as the museum shop and café El Fant are situated on the 1st floor.

The Museum can also be accessed from Katariinankatu, the Govinius Courtyard, the museum shop and the café. However, only the entrance from Aleksanterinkatu 16 is fully accessible.

With children

There is a shelter for prams in the courtyard that can be accessed through the gateway at Aleksanterinkatu 16. You can leave your pram in the shelter and enter the building through the main door. You cannot take prams to Children’s Town, due to lack of space, but other parts of museum are accessible with a pram. There is a place for eating snacks on the lower floor of Children’s Town, with a microwave oven for heating food. In Children’s Town, children can play under the supervision of their parents or other accompanying adults.
