[Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki] The museum has a collection of 18th to 20th century works, mainly by Finnish painters. Nordic works are rarely seen in other European art museums, so this is a collection that can only be seen here. The permanent exhibition also has impressionist and Japanese works, which I really enjoyed. There is also a cafe inside the museum, so you can take your time looking around. Admission fee: 22€ (20€ online) Includes the fee for special exhibitions. Time required: 1-2 hours #European tourism #Helsinki #Finland

🌟Highlight features: While waiting at the traffic lights in front of the silent church, I saw the hotel again. After passing the traffic lights, turn right and go straight for 500 meters to reach the Ateneum Art Museum, which is one of the components of the Finnish National Art Museum. It has over 20,000 classical art collections, ranking first in Finland, and the building of the art museum itself is also a work of art. ❤ Recommendation reason: When traveling to Europe, how can one miss visiting art museums? It is suggested that travelers reduce their shopping time and allocate more time to visit art museums to intuitively experience the past and present of Europe, overlooking the ups and downs of history, the changes of the times, the flow of artistic styles, and the rise and fall of dynasties, all of which can be seen at a glance. Understanding or not is not the most important reason for visiting art museums. After all, most people are not professionally trained. It is said that music has no borders, and the same goes for art exhibitions. Everyone's current mood is different, and there will always be various experiences and insights when viewing works. Most of the time, as long as one can calm down and immerse oneself, the ability to evaluate and appreciate can also be improved gradually. 📝Attention tips: Upon entering the art museum, the ticket and baggage storage counter is located on the left side of the main hall, while a beautiful café is situated on the right. Generally, backpacks need to be stored before entering the museum. In European art museums, the baggage storage is mostly self-service and free of charge. Nowadays, a password lock "#1234#" mode has been adopted (the four digits "1234" can be entered according to one's own preference). After placing the items, enter the password to automatically lock it, and retrieval is equally convenient. Currently, adult tickets cost 17 euros, and the tickets are creatively made into sticker-like forms. Get everything arranged and enjoy your visit to the museum! 📝Attention tips: When visiting an art museum, few people bring cameras with them, and some museums even explicitly prohibit photography. At this time, it is necessary to pay more attention to compliance. It would be a bit boring if the staff appeared to stop it. Going to an art museum is more about savoring the stories behind the works. If you happen to encounter a masterpiece or a work that you are very fond of, you can quickly take a photo with your phone without using flash and without affecting others. ✅Must experience: Took a photo of a painting by Van Gogh. Years ago, after seeing his paintings at the Van Gogh Museum, I was deeply impressed. However, photography is strictly prohibited throughout the museum, so I didn't take any photos and only bought a book of his paintings to look through. It's rare to see one of Van Gogh's works again and capture it on camera. 👍Most recommended: Unlike some exaggerated art museums with curved structures and modern glass, the Ado An Ning Art Museum is square and regular, but extremely noble. 🤩Unexpected gain: When I left the art museum, night had fallen and the day's itinerary was completed at a leisurely pace. Since it was only 4 o'clock, I planned to return to the hotel for a rest and go out for food later in the evening. The distance from the art museum to the hotel was less than 300 meters, and on the way, I happened to catch a tram passing by the central station and took this photo that I really like.
