Ateneum art museum

This great building located in Helsinki downtown, dates back to 1887. The front of the museum looks as impressive as  the art collection inside. This building was built in a period in which Finland wasn´t a rich  and prosperous country.

 This very building represents how Finland has been able to change its destiny in the recent history.
 In my opinion, this is a strong tangible sign of the important role that the Finnish society has given to art and creativity. Undoubtedly,art and creativity have significantly contributed to what is Finland today.
Therefore, when looking at this picture, we should not only admire this building for its beauty, but we should go a step further and consider how important  art, history and creativity are for the development of a country in its entirety
