Beautiful old house of the Russian founder of the Koff brewery, a popular beer in Finland. Art lovers, Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff collected European paintings (Flemish and Italian in particular) from the 17th^{and 18th} centuries. Since then, the collection has been enriched by donations of art from the 14th^{to the} 19th^centuries . The Sinebrychoff Museum is the only museum in the country with a collection of works by European masters from the ^14th to the early ^19th century. The collection includes Swedish, Italian and Flemish paintings (including a Rembrandt), as well as furniture, silverware, porcelain and a collection of over 400 miniatures. The museum's origins lie in the donation by Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff of their private collection to the Finnish state in 1921. It can be visited in the rooms of their former residence. This collection has been supplemented by antique works of foreign origin from the Ateneum Museum. The Sinebrychoff Museum regularly presents temporary exhibitions that seek to combine European tradition with extra-European cultural expressions. But the most interesting feature is undoubtedly the succession of rooms furnished in styles spanning the centuries...

Also worth a visit: the Sinebrychoff park, a popular picnic spot in season, but also popular with sledging enthusiasts in winter (a hill with a perfect descent on laiskianen day, Finnish Mardi Gras) and the adjacent Café Fanny.

Housed in a former tramway repair workshop, this "cultural factory" offers several exhibition spaces, concert/theater halls and a bookshop. These yellow buildings in the middle of a quiet neighborhood are home to one of Scandinavia's largest cultural spaces. You can also simply enjoy the trendy bar and listen to the latest summer DJs, or work in its public workspace, "le troisième espace". Beware, there's a lot of work going on in the area!
