Iris Roos-Hasselblatt Collection

The collection was assembled by Emil Alarik Hasselblatt (1874–1954) who worked his whole life in the Helsinki University Library, eventually retiring as senior sub librarian. The heirs of his wife, assistant librarian at the Helsinki University Library, Iris Roos-Hasselblatt, donated the collection to the City of Helsinki in 1973 according to Roos-Hasselblatt's wishes. The city received the collection in 1974. The collection consists of seven artworks by Harald Brun, Verner Thomén, and Magnus Enckell.
