The Finnish Museum of Photography

The Finnish Museum of Photography is the national special museum for photography, its job being to promote and foster Finnish photographic art and culture. The Museum, founded on the initiative of a number of photography organizations, began its work in 1969. The Museum is maintained by the Foundation for the Finnish Museum of Photography.
The Museum's main support comes from the Finnish Ministry of Education and from the City of Helsinki, which provides premises in the Cable Factory in Ruoholahti, Helsinki. The Museum's Director is Elina Heikka, and it has a permanent staff of fourteen.

The Museum puts on exhibitions of Finnish and foreign contemporary photography, and presents the diverse history of photography. The exhibition spaces cover a floor area of about 800 m2. Museum education work underpins the exhibitions, producing photography and media-education projects for various audiences.

The Museum's collections include about 3.7 million pictures spanning the various user cultures in photography. The emphasis in collection acquisitions is on Finnish contemporary photographic art. In a national context the Finnish Museum of Photography has considerable specialist expertise in the preservation and conservation of photographs.

The Museum carries out basic research on its collections and produces research publications. It also promotes Finnish photography research through collaborative projects with other research bodies, by maintaining a nationwide network of photographic researchers, and by awarding grants from the Börje and Dagmar Söderholm fund. This research and the nationwide work on photo archives are further assisted by the database of Finnish photographers maintained by the Museum, and by the Museum's other databases and details of Finnish photo archives. The Museum also has a photography library for researchers.
