Taidekoti Kirpilä / Kirpilä Art Collection
The Kirpilä Art Collection presents some of the extensive collection of Finnish art collected by rheumatologist Juhani Kirpilä (1931–1988). The former residential home, spanning eight rooms and 350 square metres, offers impressive experiences amid hundreds of paintings and sculptures. The atmosphere and spirit of this luxurious 20th-century home have been preserved in the original style of the décor.
