Last week I posted pictures of doors and hallways in Ateneum Museum – this is from there too. On the other side of the square you can see the Finnish National Theatre. This week for Ludwigs Monday Window I give this view.
The Finnish Theatre was established in May 1872 . For the first 30 years of its existence, the company operated at the Arkadia theatre. The theatre did not acquire a permanent home until 1902, when a purpose-built theatre was erected in the heart of Helsinki, adjacent to the city’s main railway station. The building design was by architect Onni Törnqvist-Tarjanne. The company moved to its new home on April 9, 1902 and was renamed the Finnish National Theatre.

Awkward with the flagpole through the middle, but somehow it doesn’t detract from the photo. I love it, Ritva!
I agree it is an eye sore, but it was there, what can I do 🙂 glad you still enjoyed it. Thanks Jo!
I agree with Jo. The flagpole isn’t the distraction it probably ought to be. A great photo,
Thank you Margaret
A fine view and a fine window.
Thanks Ludwig!
