Didrichsen Art Museum (Finnish: Didrichsenin taidemuseo, Swedish: Didrichsens konstmuseum) is an art museum in Helsinki, Finland.
History[edit]
The art museum was founded by Marie-Louise and Gunnar Didrichsen, who asked Finnish architect Viljo Revell to build the first of two phases in 1958 and again in 1965.[1]
The modernist buildings are built to the contours of the land and surrounded by trees.
Location[edit]
The museum is located on the island of Kuusisaari. The founders have since died and are buried within the compound of the museum.[2]
