National Museum guided tours


Booked guided tours are always designed together with the client to suit the needs of the visitor group. The tours can be requested for both the permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Guided tours can be booked in Finnish, Swedish, English, Russian, German and French.

We recommend a maximum visitor group size of 30 persons. Children's tours can consist of 25 school children or 20 day-care children at the most.

For groups larger than 30 persons, you will have to book two guided tours.
