Accessions collection

HAM's evolving collection is the museum's largest in number. New works for the collection are acquired within the appropriation included in the museum's budget. The collection is mainly enhanced with Finnish contemporary art, but some foreign works have been acquired from the exhibitions the museum organises, for example. Additionally, some older art is occasionally added to the collection to supplement the museum's donated collections. As a separate body of work, the evolving collection includes Jan Olof Mallander's collection acquired in 1990.
