Museokatu welcomes you to elegant Etu-Töölö

Built at the beginning of the 20th century, Etu-Töölö has a spacious feel, where the architecture is cohesive and the area exudes beauty and sensitivity. Museokatu is known for its cohesive blocks, brick-and-mortar shops and peaceful atmosphere. The area’s historical reputation as “Töölö's grandmother" has been left behind however, and has been replaced by a variety of interesting and fresh services. As the name suggests, Museokatu is home to one of Finland's most significant historical museums - the National Museum of Finland. The museum presents the various stages of Finnish history, from prehistory to the 19th century.
