- Heli PHelsinki, Finland6,316 contributionsThe building seen from above resembles a big male capercaillie in his pride so the library is known in Finnish as Metso. Architect couple Raili and Reima Pietiläs' design from 1986 has assymetrical lines and unexpected nooks both inside and out. The fame of Metso earned them the priviledge to create in 1993 Mäntyniemi in Helsinki, the formal residence of our president.Written 21 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TuyazhEastern Finland, Finland124 contributionsThere is lots to see and it's very intuitively designed as you first walk in. Very easy to see everything systematically. I would recommend going right when they open, as i hear it get crowded since its a free museum. We were there immediately when they opened and in the first hour there were already kids and people more than one would hope. This is also a very popular spot for families with children so if you want to avoid crowds of kids, try to go early.Written 4 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
