Amos Anderson was Finland’s leading newspaper publisher and newspaper printing press owner, a respected businessman and a major national figure with strong ties to the world of art and culture – undoubtedly one of the country’s greatest cultural patrons of all time.
Amos Andersons Hem (Amos Andersons Home) showcases works from his personal collection, including Finnish art from the late 19th to early 20th century. However, the majority of the works reflect his preference for European art from the 16th to 19th centuries.
