You can safely leave this off your list of places to visit in Helsinki. Perhaps it's a male thing but I found Finnish design impractical and underwhelming. Doubtless the majority would disagree. You're supposed to rave about it but it didn't do anything for me. Some reasonably attractive art glass but I've seen better elsewhere.

Somewhat on the small side for a city that has a rich history of design, but an excellent collection none the less. I would love to see an even more in-depth exhibits about all of the great designers from Finland.

Fairly interesting with a variety of collections (me being someone with an amateur interest in design) but quite small (6 or 7 smallish rooms) I was probably there for about an hour. Therefore I’d say it’s overpriced at €12. Go only if you are very into design.

Excellent exhibition about the light👍 Gift shop has lots of treasures as well. Worth visiting!

This is a quite interesting place that introduces you to the ways Finns themselves see their design, while if you look closely, you can also notice something about local museological practices. A lot of fun stuff in many levels, from virtual reality and an Angry Birds game to coffee sets and harvesters. Might make you see Helsinki rather differently when you step out of the museum.
