LUOMUS

Finnish Museum of Natural History

Exhibitions

When was the last time you paused at the feet of a dinosaur or listened to the sounds of the night under the starry sky of Africa?

Our five permanent exhibitions are Finnish Nature, World Nature, The History of Life, The Story of the Bones and Change in the Air. The Giraffes in the Gymnasium exhibition about the colourful history of the building runs through the five others.

The Natural History Museum has maintained its popularity after its renovation was completed in 2008. Year after year, the museum ranks as Finland's third most popular museum in terms of the number of visitors.
