The art museum (Turun Taidemuseo) recently has moved to the main museum building (Aurakatu, 26) after finishing of its restoration. The building was constructed in a modernist style in 1904.The museum worked before in a building of a former observatory on Vartiovuori-hill about 400 m to the south from the Cathedral. The building of an observatory was constructed by K.Engel in 1819.
The exposition of the museum represents the second-largest art collection of Finland. Only after moving to the new building it became accessible to visitors in full.
We approached the museum in the evening when it was already closed. We hope to appreciate a collection next time.

The silent wonderful Aurajoki-river saw very much during existence on its coasts the city of Turku.
It is very pleasant to walk on quay and to admire a beauty of the old city, ducks and swans.

When I was in Finland I faced a custom that affascinated me a lot.It's the sauna.I already knew it but doing was pretty different.
The sauna is a small room or hut heated to 80 degrees.
I found it a very pleasant experience, even if I couldn't bear it for too long time.
You pour water on hot coal creating steam.
If you're so lucky to have a lake next the hut you can run and dive there, if not you should often get wet with cold water.....
It's veeery strange.....at least for me!!! Leave a Comment
