Come and celebrate the
100-year-old City Museum!
This year, Helsinki City Museum will reach the age of 100 years. To celebrate, the museum will have a party on and around Senate Square on Sunday 15 May 2011 from noon till 4pm.
There will be history for every taste: historical outfits and dances from years gone by, classic automobiles, a 1700th century shop, clowns and giants. The Kengurumeiniki band will play for children, and after that a big ball will be held on Senate Square.
The public is invited to dress up in the styles of the past and join the old-time street life. Admission is free, as it is to all City Museum exhibitions and events.
