Photo of the Sederholm House, the Helsinki City Museum in Senate Square after reconstruction, Finland

Photo review of the Sёderholm House, which is the oldest stone building of Helsinki, located in the very heart of the city. The museum has experienced major overhaul and re-opened in May 2016. Entrance to the Sёderholm House and all its exhibitions is free for all: permanent exhibits for children and adults, a cafe, a souvenir shop, a chill-out area, and a courtyard. 

The Time Machine hall allows visitors to see Helsinki in the past and today with the help of of virtual reality goggles. The Children's Town occupies two floors, here the children can explore the history of the city through playing games: there is a store, a theater, a port, school, etc. Everything in the Children's Town can be touched and played with. The history of Helsinki from its inception to the present can be discovered on the second floor of the Sёderholm House. On the top floor of the building the Museum of Broken Relationships has found its place.
