Museum near Espoo, 1 of 6: Helinä Rautavaara Museum



An ethnographic museum built on the collection of Helinä Rautavaara, a Finnish journalist and explorer who traveled Africa, Asia and Latin America, mostly by hitchhiking. The permanent exhibition, Face to Face, shows art, ritual and everyday objects she gathered, in a museum holding Finland's largest collection of West African objects.
Sections were curated with people from those communities who now live around Helsinki. Kids' workshops center on handmaking.
