The museum hosts exhibitions of domestic and foreign old art, cultural-historical thematic exhibitions, as well as exhibitions from their own collections.
The permanent exhibition - Serene Moments and Vibrant Colours - that was opened in 2025 will offer a glimpse into Frithjof Tikanoja’s remarkable collection. The most significant part of the collection’s foreign art consists of works by French artists and artists who worked in France. Tikanoja’s personal favourite was Jean-François Millet’s atmospheric work Shepherds at a campfire (1849). Henri Matisse’s Sculpture and Vase of Ivy (1916–1917) reflects the collection’s diversity: Tikanoja did not hesitate to acquire modernist works. Eemu Myntti’s landscapes and portraits were praised already in their time for their vibrant colours. Victor Westerholm and Maria Wiik’s intimate interior scenes highlight the beauty of everyday life, while William Lönnberg’s The Ironer (1920) exudes warmth.
