Someone said that the whole hall where that "artwork" was smelled. Finland has good art as well. The better Finnish art, like Gallen-Kallela, is in Atheneum. There is also a seperate Gallen-Kallela museum somewhere near Leppävaara. There is a small art gallery in Koski TL of Liipola, who was a sculptor in the Austro-Hungarian empire, if you want to see sculptures.
