Artworks at schools

The school collection includes works acquired by schools or donated to schools through the Taidetta kouluihin (Art for Schools) association. The collection includes some art-historical gems of Finnish art, such as works by Tyko Sallinen. Works acquired for schools were added to the art museum's collection in the 1980s after the gradual comprehensive school reform. From this, the museum started managing the collections and maintaining them according to adequate criteria.
