Extremely well curated exhibition with three storeys of history from China (中国艺术品展览) to current day borders of Europe. Not to mention my favorites, views from Koli, oilpaintings by Eero Järnefelt. Plus a room full of most spectacular Icons that depict the story of Valamo, the monastery in permanent exile from Russia.

Great experience. The museum is close to the centre. It is a comfortable size and the art is inspiring. Definitely worth a visit

Amazing collection of art. Especially important that it gives an overview of local artists

A beautiful building, with a lot of beautiful paintings, and sculptures, and other things. I will for sure come back, and be there for a much longer time, when i have moved to Suomi... ????

A nice museum but comparing to North Karelia one in Joensuu… well I would just say if you have to choose I would definitely go to the other one. It’s just too small.
