Today I visited in National museum of Finland. They had open doors today coz today is birthday of the museum. It has been open for 100 years. Which makes the museum older than Finland. Finland became independent country in 1917. And also the company I work started their business in 1917, so next year we will have a big party at work. Anyhow, I should be writing about todays birthday hero; National Museum of Finland.
When I arrived to the museum it was full of people. But I was one of the lucky ones who had cake and coffee. I read on FB that 2000 first visitors will have cake and coffee. The cake was really good. It tasted a bit like Runeberg's tart , mostly coz I tasted bitter almond on the cake. After the cake and coffee I went to see exhibition about Jean Sibelius and it was brilliant. I gonna go to see it again some other day when the museum isn't full of people. One of the staff members said that the exhibition is really much bigger so I have seen only small part of it. The great part of Jean Sibelius exhibition was that visitors were able to listen samples of his music. There was one sample which I fell in love. I simply felt happy when I listened it. This musical master piece is called as "Violin Concerto" I hope you'll like it too.
This painting you can find also in Ateneum art museum.
Notes of Sibelius. German edition.
Belongings of Sibelius.
Trend from 20's, all stuffs are from Sibelius home.
Edgar Allan Poe's poem in German.
After brilliant Sibelius exhibition I went to see couple others exhibitions. I liked them too but not as much as Sibelius exhibition.

If you're ever coming in Finland and Helsinki, I suggest you to visit National museum of Helsinki. There you'll learn a lot about Finlands history. Maybe visiting the museum helps you to understand better this melancholic nation.
Till next time!
