Gardens & Parks, Museums & Art Centres
The Finnish Museum of Natural History Luomus, functioning under the University of Helsinki, has three attractions close to the centre of Helsinki: the Natural History Museum and the Botanic Gardens of Kaisaniemi and Kumpula.

The collections in the Natural History Museum include botanical, zoological, geological and paleontological specimens from all over the world, serving research in the fields of biology and geology as well as educational purposes.

The Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden has a versatile and fascinating collection of living plants on display. The glasshouses take you from one climate zone to another, from the tropics to the extreme conditions of deserts and to the fabulous adaptations that emerge on islands.

The Kumpula Botanic Garden holds a geobotanical collection stretching from Finland to the Rocky Mountains and further to the Far East. The collection of culturally significant plants comprises a garden of cultivated plants and herbs and a historical manor park.

The geological collections of Luomus are on display at Kumpula manor in Kumpula Botanic Garden. The collections are divided into rock and mineral collections and paleontological collections.
