Museum of Gallen-Kallela
Gallen-Kallela MuseumFinland, Helsinki
The museum of the Finnish artist of Swedish origin Axel Gallen-Kallela opened in 1961 in his house. The mansion, resembling a medieval castle, was rebuilt again and again to look like Italian Renaissance villas. Here you can see the author's furniture and the artist's hunting trophies, among which are the skulls of a hippopotamus and a buffalo brought from an African safari in 1927. On the first floor of the museum there is an archive and a functioning library.
In the living quarters where the artist and his family lived, there is a cafe with homemade cakes and delicious liqueurs.
