Fodor's Expert Review Sinebrychoff Art Museum

A branch of the Finnish National Gallery, the Sinebrychoff Museum occupies a 19th-century landmark building at the western end of leafy Bulevardi. The wealthy Russian Sinebrychoffs owned a brewing company (the Koff beer for sale throughout Helsinki is their legacy) and lived in this splendid yellow-and-white, 1840 neo-Renaissance mansion filled with wildly opulent furniture. The family's former home on the second floor is now a public museum containing old European collections. Dutch, Swedish, Italian, and French works are on show, with a mixture of 17th- and 18th-century portraits, landscapes, miniatures, porcelain, and the mansion's original decorative furniture.
