Galeria Academica: a Portrait Collection of the University of Helsinki
Galleria Academica, owned by University of Helsinki, is the largest portrait collection in Finland containing around 1000 pieces of work. The history of the collection dates from the 1650s, when the fi rst portrait was donated to the Royal Academy of Turku, the predecessor to the University of Helsinki. All types of Finnish portrait art is represented in the collection, as well as a large number of famous Finnish artists. Modern approaches towards portraiture have slowly broken through because of their representational status of the portraits.
