| The Helsinki City Museum is a diverse databank of Helsinki history, where visitors can delve into their roots and cultural background. The museum has remarkable collections consisting of around one million historical objects, art works and photographs. The main themes of the museum's research activities are Helsinki history, urban ethnology and archaeology. An especially important task for the City Museum is to preserve the architectural heritage of Helsinki by making inventories and reports and giving expert statements about restoration and conservation issues. The results of the museum's work are presented in several yearly publications as well as in eleven museum exhibitions, which open many different perspectives into Helsinki's history. | |||
