Kotimuseo

The heart of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum is the unique home environment of Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff, permanently on display on the museum's second floor. In 1842 the Sinebrychoff city palace at Bulevardi 40 was completed. The building was immediately regarded as one of Helsinki's most important private houses. The last residents of the house bearing the Sinebrychoff name, Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff, were passionate art enthusiasts. They gathered the most beautiful European art and objects into their home. When the collections were donated to the state in 1921, they already contained over 900 works. Paul and Fanny's wish to open the doors to the art treasures they had collected for everyone is recorded in their will almost a hundred years ago. The same spirit lives on in the museum to this day.
