A complex mosaic of culture, society and processes is mirrored in the material world in certain periods involves a large part of the Eurasian continent.

The private art collection of professor Fredrik Cygnaeus (1807 “ “ 1881) opened to the public in 1882 and is the oldest art museum in Finland. Initially, the museum’s goal was to incorporate one work from every Finnish artist in the collection, however, with the inclusion of some international work, this goal became unmanageable. The first part of this catalog describes the life work of Fredrik Cygnaeus and the creation of this museum. The second part presents, in detail, all of the paintings, drawings, watercolors, and sculptures that comprise the collection in its current state.
