Can you resist visiting the Design Museum in the World Design Capital?

🔵 Helsinki was once named the World Design Capital by UNESCO, and Finnish design is indeed very famous around the world. 🔵 Nordic design has always been known for its simplicity, practicality, ease, and comfort, especially Finnish design, which has many unique styles and characteristics. 🔵 The Design Museum is located in the center of Helsinki, and it's within walking distance from the city center. The building itself is a very historic structure, with three floors. 🔵 The ground floor displays some classic designs, including works by Alvar Aalto, Marimekko, and also classic cartoon characters like Moomin. Overall, it's quite nice, but to be honest, it's a bit rough around the edges. Especially some of the exhibitions upstairs are not very interesting. If you like Finnish design, it's recommended to go see Alvar Aalto's works separately.
