Amos Andersons Hem is in the former home and office building of arts patron and businessman Amos Anderson on Yrjönkatu. The museum consists of four rooms on the fifth floor and a chapel half a floor higher. The visit works best for families whose children can move calmly through a small home museum, look at old objects and art, and think about life in a 1920s city home.

- Accessibility
- The main entrance is at Yrjönkatu 27 A, and the fifth floor can be reached by lift or stairs. The accessible route is through the courtyard and Mercatorkuja, using the ramp and accessible entrance next to the glass lift shaft. The chapel is half a floor above the museum rooms. Check toilet and baby-care details with the museum if they matter for your visit.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The museum is small and calm, so it works best as a short art and history stop in the city centre. Short introductory tours are offered on Saturdays, and it is worth reserving a free ticket in advance because places are limited.
- Opening-hours notes
- The museum is open Wednesdays 16:00-20:00 and Saturdays 11:00-17:00. Opening hours are limited and events can affect visits, so check the current situation before going.
- Booking notes
- Booking is not mandatory for a normal visit, but the official page recommends reserving the visit in advance and booking tickets for introductory tours because places are limited. Groups book their own guided tour separately.
- Price notes
- Museum admission is free. Free tickets for a normal visit and Saturday introductory tours can be reserved in the online shop, while group guided tours are paid separately.
- Age notes
- Best for children and young people around 10-15 who are interested in history, interiors, art, or old buildings. Younger children may find the visit quiet and viewing-focused, because the official information does not highlight child-oriented hands-on stations.
- Seasonal notes
- The indoor museum operates year-round during its normal opening periods, but the visit needs to be planned around the limited Wednesday and Saturday hours.
- Weather notes
- A good rainy-day, cold-day, and windy-day option if the family wants a calm indoor stop in the city centre.
