Introduction
Arrival
The Vantaa City Museum is located at the old Tikkurila railway station, right next to the Dixi travel centre in Tikkurila. All local and long distance trains on the main track stop at Tikkurila. There is also a bus terminal for local traffic at the travel centre.
There is a small car park in front of the museum intended for museum visitors. You can get a parking permit from the info desk at the museum. There is a multi-storey car park at the Dixi travel centre.
There is a bicycle parking space in the subway on the south side of the Tikkurila Station; you can access it with an HSL travel card.
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.
