A new permanent exhibition:
Suomi Finland 1900
 Themes of the new 20th century exhibition of Finland and Finns are daily life, cuisine, traffic, communication, as well as developments in politics and state. In what type of circumstances did Finns from different parts of Finland live and how was their daily life? The 20th century was a time of great upheaval and fast economic and technological development. After Finland became independent on 6 December 1917, the country went through several wars and suffered great losses, but Finland and the Finns always recovered. In less than one hundred years, the country transformed from a poor, agrarian part of the Russian empire into an independent, wealthy western industrial and welfare state. What kind of memories does the 20th century bring to your mind? Every one of us has our own images and memories from the last century. We hope that this exhibition brings back memories and evokes feelings, and that it will also help people to understand Finland as it is today. The exhibition is on display in the rooms 127-130 at the first floor of the Museum.
