Antheneum, Helsinki, Lapland Exhibition

The front of the Antheneum was wrapped for some kind of renovation. The entrance was still open below the antlers. 

Inside this museum was one of my new favorite paintings: "The Wounded Angel", 
(1903) by the Finnish symbolist painter, Hugo Simberg. It is one of the most recognizable of Simberg's works, and was declared Finland's "national painting" in a vote held by the art museum in 2006.
