A collection for everyone

The Finnish National Gallery in its present form was established in 2014. This was when the gallery, which had operated as a state institution, was reorganised as an independent public foundation and given its present name. Its history, however, began as early as 1846.

1846 The Finnish Art Society is founded

The idea of establishing the Finnish Art Society was proposed back in 1834. The society was officially established on 27 January 1846. Its task was to lay the foundations for Finnish visual art culture, as there were no art museums or proper art education in Finland at the time.

1847 The Finnish Art Society’s first exhibition

The society started its exhibition activities in the spring of 1847, when it organised its first art exhibition in Helsinki. After this, exhibitions were held annually. The exhibitions also welcomed non-members of the society as audience. In connection with the exhibitions, an artwork raffle was organised for members.

1848 Helsinki Drawing School established

The Finnish Art Society promoted art education by running drawing schools. The Helsinki Drawing School was established in 1848. The society also supported Finnish artists through the provision of grants.

1849 Works added to the Finnish Art Society’s art collection

The Finnish Art Society began to add works to its art collection in 1849, with a view of creating a collection of model works for the society’s drawing school. The collection was expanded largely through donations. 

In the 19th century, the first donations came from people close to the society: board members and the artist community. For example, Baron Otto Klinckowström, who was a board member of the society, donated part of his collection to the society in 1851.

1852 The Turku Drawing School becomes part of the Finnish Art Society

The Turku Drawing School was taken over by the Finnish Art Society in 1852. The purpose of the arrangement was to make the Turku Drawing School more professional. 

1868 Collection development added to the society’s rules

When the expansion of the art collection was added to the society’s rules, the collection activities took on an official form. Research into art collections was initiated in the late 19th century. The systematic collection of art-related materials, such as letters by artists, started at that time. These materials formed the basis of the current archive collection.

1876 Viktor Hoving’s estate, including his art collection, bequeathed to the society as one of the first major donations

Another important donation was the ‘bequest to the Finnish people’ made by Herman Frithiof Antell in 1893. The donated art collection was placed in the care of the Finnish Art Society, while the other materials were deposited with the predecessor organisation of the current National Museum of Finland.

Artists also bequeathed their estates to the society. One of the first to do so was Karl Emanuel Jansson, a painter from Åland, whose estate was passed on to the society in 1874.

1887 The Ateneum building completed

Prior to moving to the Ateneum, the Finnish Art Society operated from various rented premises across Helsinki. The Ateneum building, designed by the architect Theodor Höijer (1843–1910), was completed in the spring of 1887. Its inauguration took place on 18 November 1887. 

The building housed the Finnish Art Society and its art collection. In addition, the society’s Drawing School (currently the Academy of Fine Arts) and the Finnish Society of Crafts and Design (currently the Design Museum) and their collections were housed at the Ateneum. The School of Applied Arts (currently the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture) also operated from the building.

1921 The Sinebrychoff Art Museum established

The businessman Paul Sinebrychoff and his wife Fanny started collecting art in the 1890s. In 1921, Fanny Sinebrychoff, following a joint decision by the couple, donated their collection of approximately 900 works to the Finnish state. 

The collection was opened to the public in the same year in a three-room apartment leased from the Sinebrychoff family building. Its four front rooms featured period interiors that were essentially in the same condition as Fanny Sinebrychoff had left them.

The current collection of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum is the result of the original Sinebrychoff collection being expanded.

1939 The Fine Arts Academy of Finland established

The Finnish Art Society ran museum operations and provided art education for nearly one hundred years. Its museum and school operations were reorganised in 1939, when a foundation called the Fine Arts Academy of Finland was established, with the aim of promoting, developing and supporting visual arts in Finland.

1939 The Ateneum art collection closed to the public 

The Ateneum art collection was closed to the public due to the outbreak of the Winter War only two days after the foundation had been established. 

The Sinebrychoff Art Museum also had to be closed due to the war. The collection kept at the museum was evacuated to safety. The museum building was damaged in the bombings.

1946 The Ateneum reopens to the public in March

After the war, the Ateneum received many donations. As for acquisitions, the policy was to obtain both Finnish and international art. The exhibition activities of the Fine Arts Academy of Finland were resumed, and the importance of exhibiting international art increased. The provision of guided tours and presentations to the public became an established activity.

1956 An education department established at the Fine Arts Academy of Finland 

A major change at the academy was the establishment of an education department in 1956. The department was responsible for, for example, organising touring exhibitions and, later, archiving special art-related materials and providing information services. In 1973, the education department was renamed the exhibition and information department.

1958 The Ateneum art collection named the Ateneum Art Museum

The Finnish Art Society collection had already established its position in the new building. However, it was not until 1958 that the collection was assigned the name the Ateneum Art Museum.

1960 The Sinebrychoff Art Museum reopens on 22 January

The museum building was damaged in the bombings during the war. After the war, it was used as a chemistry laboratory by the Helsinki University of Technology. The museum was not reopened until 22 January 1960.

The apartment housing the art museum was restored with funds from the Sinebrychoff brewing company. 

1975 The state purchases the entire Sinebrychoff building 

The Sinebrychoff building was completely renovated and redesigned for museum use. The collection of old international art held at the Ateneum Art Museum was transferred to the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in 1980.

1980 Renovation and extension of the Ateneum building begins

Plans for the renovation and extension of the Ateneum building, which had for a long time been considered too cramped, were put forward in 1980. The renovation took place between 1985 and 1990. During the renovation, the Fine Arts Academy of Finland Foundation operated from temporary premises. 

1990 The Finnish National Gallery (1990–2013) established

The Finnish National Gallery was established as the central national art museum. The gallery became operational in September 1990. In 1991, it moved to the renovated Ateneum building, which was dedicated exclusively to its operations.

At the Finnish National Gallery, the responsibility for the management of the collection was divided between three museum units: the Ateneum Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Sinebrychoff Art Museum, and the Central Art Archives, which was the successor to the document archive of the exhibition and information department.

1990 The Museum of Contemporary Art established

The Museum of Contemporary Art was founded within the Finnish National Gallery in 1990. It initially operated from the Ateneum building.

1992 Architectural competition for the Museum of Contemporary Art

The story of the Kiasma building began with an architectural competition announced in 1992. The winner of the competition was the American architect Steven Holl, with his entry Chiasma.

1996 Construction of Kiasma begins

The construction of the Museum of Contemporary Art began in 1996. The name of the building, which denotes a crossing, was changed to Kiasma, which was incorporated into the name of the museum. 

The opening of the museum took place in May 1998.

The time around the Millennium characterised by donations and acquisitions

The Finnish National Gallery made acquisitions for its collections and received a large number of donations for both the Ateneum and Kiasma. 

The donations to the Ateneum Museum of Art included, for example, the Wäinö Wallin collection (1995); almost the entire body of works by Aune Mikkonen (2001); 505 works from the Ester and Jalo Sihtola art foundation (2001); a collection of 98 works by Beatrice Granberg (2002, a State Treasury donation); 78 works from the Yrjö and Nanny Kaunisto collection (2005), including unique paintings by Helene Schjerfbeck; and a collection of 550 works of 20th-century Italian art from the Rolando and Siv Pieraccini collection (2008).

The first donation received by the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, which was of significant symbolic value, was made by Porkkana, an association founded by art-history students and artists. This collection included slightly more than one hundred small-scale works by international artists such as Richard Long, Nancy Holt and Christo. 

A further international dimension to the museum was added by the Kiasma Collection (1998), which was based on the collection of the businessman and art collector Pentti Kouri.  The SKOP Bank collection of 700 works (2002), in turn, strengthened Kiasma’s permanent collection of Finnish art.

Artists’ estates are significant not only in terms of art but also in terms of research. An example of these is the collection of works by the artist Kalervo Palsa, which was donated by Maj-Lis Pitkänen (1999).

2002 Renovation of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum completed

A major renovation of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum was completed in 2002. The renovation sought to preserve and restore the house museum. 

2014 The Finnish National Gallery reorganised 

The Finnish National Gallery is now a public foundation that was established on 1 January 2014. Its collection remained in state ownership as constituting national heritage. 

The Ateneum Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, and the Sinebrychoff Art Museum continue to operate as the Finnish National Gallery’s museum units. The collections are managed by the Collections Management Department, together with the museums. The department also manages the art-historical archive collections.

Kiasma’s mission is to collect current contemporary art that reflects the times as broadly as possible. Kiasma Collections are currently developed by acquiring interesting works of contemporary art of outstanding quality with a focus on Finnish art and art from nearby regions.

Kiasma’s Acquisition Policy

Contemporary art is created and displayed in a context characterised by interaction between local and global culture. Finnish contemporary art, too, has become an important part of the international scene of contemporary art. Kiasma Collections are currently developed by acquiring interesting works of contemporary art of outstanding quality, regardless of national or geographic boundaries and yet with an underlying focus on art from nearby regions. Most of the works by foreign artists in the collections are purchased from Kiasma’s own exhibitions.

Kiasma’s mission is to collect current contemporary art that reflects the times as broadly as possible. Important factors that determine acquisition are an understanding of the times, fearless vision and sensitivity to phenomena. The acquisition of older works to complement the collection can also be considered, such as in the case of thematic exhibitions or important individual works of art.

Acquisition is not dictated by divisions of art into genres or media. In addition to paintings, sculptures, photographs and prints, acquisitions for Kiasma Collections also include media art, such as film, video, audio and computer art, including web-based and online works of art. Kiasma has the largest collection of media art in Finland, which totals about 400 works. Works that employ digital technology pose new challenges to the collections, as they require new methods of storage, maintenance, conservation and presentation, as well as continual development of contractual practices.

Contemporary art is understood, interpreted and defined largely as a part of visual culture. Acquisition therefore also covers works that occupy a position between contemporary art and popular culture, as well as ephemeral artworks and their documentation, such as performance documentations, community art projects, earth art and environmental art. Works that can only be stored as conceptual designs, ideas or plans may also be acquired.
