===Museums=== The biggest historical museum in Helsinki is the [[National Museum of Finland]], which displays a vast collection from prehistoric times to the 21st century. The museum building itself, a national romantic-style neomedieval castle, is a tourist attraction. Another major historical museum is the [[Helsinki City Museum]], which introduces visitors to Helsinki's 500-year history. The [[University of Helsinki]] also has many significant museums, including the [[Helsinki University Museum]] "Arppeanum" and the [[Finnish Museum of Natural History]]. The [[Finnish National Gallery]] consists of three museums: [[Ateneum|Ateneum Art Museum]] for classical Finnish art, [[Sinebrychoff Art Museum]] for classical European art, and [[Kiasma|Kiasma Art Museum]] for modern art, in a building by architect [[Steven Holl]]. The old Ateneum, a neo-Renaissance palace from the 19th century, is one of the city's major historical buildings. All three museum buildings are [[state-owned]] through [[Senate Properties]]. The city of Helsinki hosts its own art collection in the [[Helsinki Art Museum]] (HAM), primarily located in its [[Tennispalatsi]] gallery. Around 200 pieces of public art lie outside. The art is all city property. [[Helsinki Art Museum]] will in 2020 launch the Helsinki Biennial, which will bring art to maritime Helsinki β in its first year to the island of [[Vallisaari]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Front page|url=https://helsinkibiennaali.fi/en/|access-date=9 November 2021|website=Helsinki Biennial}}</ref> The [[Design Museum, Helsinki|Design Museum]] is devoted to the exhibition of both Finnish and foreign design, including industrial design, fashion, and graphic design.
