  Modern, spacious, well-organized. I like that they experiment fresh, risky, provocative ideas all the time. The exhibitions may not always be significantly striking but never fail to open your mind as well as extend your imagination. Some piece of arts are "quite not there" and seem to be made by a try-hard art student, but isn't it the nature of contemporary arts? The building is a state of art and worth a visiting itself.

  The museum building is a masterpiece itself. Interesting exhibitions one after another. Always a great place to visit. The museum's shop is also definitely worth checking out!

  This place has free entrance once per month, just check the schedule. I was so lucky to for this day. However, exhibitions were really very boring at that moment. It isn't so interesting like Atenium. I hope they will find some appropriate work which will be interesting for visitors.

  Stunning building, easy layout. Accessible to people with mobility difficulties. The cafeteria served fantastic food at a reasonable price. All the staff spoke english. The art on display was both thought provoking and entertaining.

  As always a wonderful building to walk into. Nowadays they have top artists too. Absolutely mind blowing Grayson Perry exhibition on the top floor. If you do ANYTHING this summer in Helsinki go and see it!
