The Ateneum is the home of Finnish art. Our collection spans from the 18th century to Modernism. In total, our collection includes nearly 30,000 national treasures.
Our highly popular exhibitions showcase international and Finnish art. Paired with our topical research, our exhibitions provide new information and perspectives to our visitors.
We also encourage our visitors to engage in the different encounters our museum offers. You can converse, listen to music, create art, investigate and be inspired. Our museum attracts thousands of children and young people every year. Our rich educational programme brings art to schools to form part of children’s school work.
Together with the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and the Sinebrychoff Art Museum, we form the Finnish National Gallery. The Finnish National Gallery is Finland’s largest art museum institution and its operations are governed by special legislation.
With art, you are never alone. Welcome to Ateneum!
Modigliani’s art, often dismissed as mere sensationalism, is in fact a profound meditation on human isolation and longing. His elongated necks, a recurring motif in his work, symbolize the yearning for connection, the desperate stretching toward something intangible. It’s as if his subjects are trapped in their own bodies, their souls reaching out, but unable to break free. His women, with their almond-shaped eyes and haunting gazes, seem to hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. They are not objects of desire, but rather tragic figures, lost in a labyrinth of their own emotions. Modigliani seems to have had a particular affinity for these women, perhaps seeing in them a reflection of his own inner turmoil. In a world that often values superficial beauty and material success, Modigliani’s art offers a stark contrast. His subjects are often marginalized, overlooked, and misunderstood. Yet, through his compassionate gaze, he elevates them to a place of profound dignity. Modigliani’s work is a testament to the power of art to give voice to the voiceless and to remind us of the enduring human spirit.
English, please ? And why not Russian, or Chinese, knowing that, in the world, there are approximately 24 times more people who speak Russian and 240 times more who speak Chinese, compared to the 6 million who speak the Finnish language?!
Suomessa ei ole tutkivaa journalismia, tämä on haaste, samoin kuin toimittajien oma ideologia joka esim. haastattelutilanteessa tulee katsojan silmille. Jos luet vain hesarin paperiversiota, ja vertaat sähköiseen, jossa eniten klikattuja tuodaan esille, on kuin eri mediatuottajaa lukisi. Toimittajaystäväni väittää että hesari oli jytkyn 2011 aikaan persuvastainen, hän mukaan lukien, mutta tänään ollaan tasapuolisia,.mikä ei kyllä lukijalle välity.
Muistatko Ruben, kun jytkyn jälkeen hiillostitte halla ahoa kolmeen mieheen. Hän oli yksin rauhallinen, kysyitte ensin sitten syyttelitte ja puhuitte päälle. Kommenttikentästä näet tänään yleisön reaktion. Ruotsi oli jo silloin gettoutunut, ja autot paloi kaduilla, Tästä Halla aho puhui, ja oikeassa oli.
Toimittajien, journalistien koulutus on, ja tuottaa radigaalia vihervasemmistolaista toimittajakuntaa. Sama juttu yliopistoissa, "Afrikan tähti" (yhdyssana). Muistatteko?

Finnish State has one priority; Abolish poverty! Making jobs for Finnish people so that our education does not go in vain. I encourage Finnish governement to take actions against poverty in Finland!!
Interesting vlog, it reminds me of Alexander Calder Exhibition in Paris. He constructed three-dimensional art works using wires which give impression of ‘drawings in space’. I tried to make a vlog about him in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eqVEMItP_hQ.html Hope you also like it.
