The collections of the National Museum of Finland are our common cultural heritage and national property belonging to everyone. They serve as a shared memory and resource. The collections tell us about people’s lives, society, events and history. They can also increase knowledge and understanding, feed our imagination and provide inspiration.

Here, you can piece together history in the form of jigsaw puzzles, do your own artwork inspired by objects in the collections and test your knowledge: can you put all the objects in chronological order?
