With an interesting name such as Kiasma, one would be curious as to what this could be. Well, Kiasma is a stunning work of art of a museum, inside and out. Finnish for an intertwining of chromosomes, it’s a beautiful metaphor for an exchange of information and for new definitions on what art is. Showcasing an array of contemporary art, Kiasma is a must-visit museum in Helsinki!

Bright lights, stark white walls, and a beautifully contrasted black granite floor. Kiasma’s architecture is a work of art itself! Building on the elements of simplicity and natural light, a curved glass surrounds the entire exterior of the building. Warmly welcoming natural light, the beauty of the interior is enhanced by it. With pieces mostly from local artists and neighbouring countries, Kiasma has been a vital in shedding light on local artists’ works. Encouraging new perspectives and intriguing experiences, artworks such as “Infinity” by Pink Twins use sound as a form of art. Or perhaps indulge in some “Inter-active” art by Juha Van Ingen! The possibilities for interpretation are endless! Kiasma is truly a fascinating place that you wouldn’t want to miss.
