Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Gil LeppelmeierHelsinki, Finland3 contributionsA wonderful combination of technology and art.
Displays showing the techniques developed over thousands of years right up to recent times, the step-by-step movement over centuries from hand work to machine mass production, as well as the ingenious development of hand-blown works of art.
There are four floors of exhibits, all worth a slow walk through, and a cafe (open Monday-Friday).Written 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum displays the history of hunting in Finland from the dawn of times to modern day. Plenty to see and experience, also children will find the museum interesting.

Pieni mutta erittäin hyvin toteutettu erikoismuseo aivan Suomen lasimuseon naapurissa. Museo esittelee suomalaisen metsästyksen historiaa nykypäiviin asti. Paljon nähtävää ja koettavaa myös lapsille.Written 21 September 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mikael FHelsinki, Finland31,125 contributionsThe museum operates in a government office block built in 1963. The museum was opened to the public in 1995.
An art and antique dealer Mr. Pentti Wähäjärvi and his wife Tatiana donated their collection, 2000 pieces of art and other objects to the City of Riihimäki in 1993. A part of that is on display here and it is regularly changed because the collection is too large for all items to be shown simultaneously.
Now there were exhibitions: Female Artists and The Return of Birds - The Spring is coming. Both exhibitions display works mainly from Tatiana and Pentti Wähäjärvi Collection.
In the Female Artist exhibition were many paintings from Helene Schjerfbeck. She is a famous Finnish painter, most widely known for her realist works and self-portraits.
Beside these two exhibitions, there is a huge collection of Chinese porcelain.Written 6 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is even possible to design your own glass object or container. Then they create it. That is what we did, my wife, Ilse who is an ikebana artist designed a container and they created it while we were watching. A wonderful experience.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
