Introduction

The City Museum holds changing exhibitions related to the history and culture of the Vantaa region. In addition, the museum organises guided tours, workshops, and events. You are also welcome to relax in the museum and read books from our reference library. Visit our small museum shop and buy books, postcards, and curiosities. Museum offices are also located in the building.

The museum building is the old railway station of Tikkurila. The building was built in 1862. It is the oldest brick-built
station in Finland. The building was designed by architect Carl Albert Edelfelt.

Marriage ceremony premises 

The museum acts as the marriage ceremony premises of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency in Vantaa. Marriage ceremonies are performed every other Friday. Instructions on marriage and how to book an appointment for a marriage ceremony can be found on the website of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The Odotussali (Waiting Room) of the museum is usually used for marriage ceremonies; at other times, it acts as a workshop and recreation room. The ceremony takes a few minutes, and the room can be closed off from other visitors to the exhibition for the duration.

The Waiting Room is located on the first floor of the Vantaa City Museum. The window has a view over the Tikkurila Veterans’ Park.
