Helsinki's Ateneum holds 2 works by Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Gauguin's Tahitian paintings use colour and form with a boldness that was startling to his contemporaries and remains powerful today. The scale of his ambition is best understood through original canvases, where his unconventional technique — rough surfaces, complex paint layers — is fully visible.

Planning your visit to Helsinki
Helsinki's art institutions are compact and walkable — the Ateneum (national art museum) and Kiasma (contemporary art) are both near the central railway station. Entry is free for under-18s at most state museums. The Amos Rex with its striking underground galleries is also worth a visit.
