As the locals like to call the Espoo Museum of Modern Art.

It is just a short bus ride from Helsinki’s central Kamppi bus station to the neighbouring town of Espoo where you will find Emma - Espoo Museum of Modern Art.

Located in the WeeGee building EMMA’s 5000 square metres of exhibition area make it Finland’s largest museum.

EMMA’s permanent exhibitions will be drawn from two sources; the City of Espoo collection (c. 2,500 works) which concentrates almost entirely on Finnish contemporary art and the Saastamoinen Foundation Art Collection (more than 1,900 works) combining classical modernism, from the beginning of the 20th century, with Finnish and international contemporary art.

Current exhibitions: Until 26 August 2007.

Current exhibitions include the work of Catalan abstract artist, Antoni Tàpies and the work of several female media artists in moving portraits.

Future Exhibitions:

 Salvador Dalí              3 October – 16 December 2007.

Claude Monet              6 March – 25 May 2008.

This will be the first Claude Monet (1840-1926) exhibition ever to be seen in Finland.
