"The Helsinki City Museum is the world’s only museum focusing on Helsinki. Personal experiences and everyday life of people in Helsinki are highlighted and reflected in the museum’s items and photographs. A Kiss-kiss candy wrapper, a squeaky steel spring bed and a photo of a suburb home yard are precious treasures in the museum.

The Helsinki City Museum is located in the oldest blocks of the city near the Senate Square, and entrance is always free of charge. In the City Museum, everyone has the opportunity to fall in love with Helsinki."

"Helsingin kaupunginmuseo on maailman ainoa museo, jonka aiheena on Helsinki. Keskiössä ovat kaupunkilaisten omakohtaiset kokemukset ja tavallinen arki, jota museon esineet ja valokuvat heijastavat. Kiss-kiss-karkkipaperi, natiseva heteka ja valokuva kotilähiön pihalta ovat museossa kallisarvoisia aarteita.

Helsingin kaupunginmuseo sijaitsee 13.5.2016 alkaen Senaatintorin kulmalla kaupungin vanhimmissa kortteleissa ja sinne on aina vapaa pääsy. Kaupunginmuseossa jokaisella on mahdollisuus rakastua Helsinkiin."
