Helsinki

By C. Margery Kempe

My first full day in Helsinki I had planned to go to the national museum before I met up with my friend Laura (under the clock at Stockmann’s of course, the traditional meeting place in Helsinki) but it didn’t open until 11 so I went to Kiasma, the contemporary art museum first while the heavens opened.

The karhu that guards the national history museum

Outside the music center, perhaps the pike Väinämoinen wrestled

It’s always fun to see what...
