Sederholm House

Built in 1757, the house of merchant Johan Sederholm at the corner of the Senate Square is the oldest building in Helsinki city centre. Today, Sederholm House is a part of the Helsinki City Museum, and home to Children’s Town, an exhibition especially targeted at the youngest citizens. In Children’s Town, children and their companions can learn more about Helsinki’s history through own experiences and joint activities.

Children’s Town offers an opportunity to jump into a horse-drawn carriage or steer a ship in 18th century surroundings. For the youngest museum visitors, there is a special marine play, reading and rest corner. You can study everyday items from the 1970s in Grandma’s House and watch the favourite TV shows of the time.
