At the Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art (Kiasma), enjoy the fine multimedia art and installations. Videos depict the life of the disliked gay who lived in Soviet Estonia under the codename Chairman. Not only did he lose his job and his friends, he was sentenced to prison and killed at home in 1991 due to his LGBT identity. The artist recreated the chairman with videos based on historical documents.
Located opposite the Parliament Building in the center of Helsinki, designed by famous architect Steven Holl, is a curvilinear aesthetic pure white building, itself is a classic exhibit. The collection of modern art, including paintings, multimedia and other works, is mainly held after 1960 years.

Interesting arts venue with an eclectic choice of exhibitions . Check out the upcoming Grayson Perry.
A great place all around. The building, the art, the people all make this a must see contemporary art museum. During my visit, there were hoards of young school children, which was bizarre given almost all the content in the museum was not children appropriate.
A Helsinki landmark, Kiasma is a creative contemporary art museum filled with hours worth of exhibits, films and interactive workshops. It's definitely worth a visit on any Helsinki trip, especially being a short walk from the center of the city.
Great place to soak up on modern art.
It's modern art. So be prepared for what you're stepping into. Features lots of Finnish artists. Free with the Helsinki card, so why not check it out. Wed-Fri it's open late. Free on the first Friday of the month.
