Hello,
One more thing I have managed to accomplish from my bucket list! I went to the Helsinki University Museum with a friend before we headed to a class one afternoon. The museum isn’t big but it is quite interesting, as the name of the museum suggests it is about the history of the University of Helsinki.
The museum is located in Päärakennus (Fabianinkatu 33), it is better to enter the building on the not-church side and the admission is free! The opening hours are odd so check out the website if you are thinking about visiting. It doesn’t take too long to go through the museum, unless you read all the text that they have. It does have a lot of text! Luckily the text is in Finnish, Swedish and English.
I seriously thought the picture above was from Iceland, but I was wrong. Still when I look at the picture now I still feel it looks so much like Iceland!
The museum does not only focus on the university but also the life of a student in Helsinki. Which is quite interesting since the student life is quite different from what I am used to.
All in all, it is a fun museum to go and visit. It might not be very interesting for people that have no connection to the university since it basically is just about the university. At the same time, the history of the University of Helsinki is a long and very impressive one and the museum does a good job of showing the most important parts.
Until next time,
Katrin
