Serlachius Museums
Serlachius-museot
An art museum in the small town of Mänttä, where a manor houses Golden Age Finnish paintings, and whose new wooden wing has won multiple design awards.
Located about 85 km northeast of Tampere in Mänttä, the museums are run by the Serlachius Foundation, established by a paper-industry family. They consist of two sites. The Gösta Mansion Art Museum holds Golden Age masterpieces by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Albert Edelfelt and others, along with European classical paintings. It has a wooden new wing added in 2014 and a lakeside sculpture park. In town, the Gustaf Museum presents the history of the paper industry. One ticket covers both museums and costs about €20, with free shuttle buses between them. It is about an hour's drive from Tampere, or around 1.5 hours by bus, making it a good day trip.
