Address
Kuusisaarenpolku 11, 00340 Helsinki.
You will find us here.
How to get there
We recommend using public transport! The parking area is limited and parking along Kuusisaarenpolku can be tricky during winter due to snow and ice.
You'll get to Kuusisaari by changing to bus 510 (Herttoniemi-Kivenlahti) or 52 (Kuninkaantammi-Otaniemi) in either Munkkiniemen aukio or Aalto University (Otaniemi).
The bus stop closest to us i called Kuusisaarenkuja, and it's right next to the parking lot of Didrichsen Art Museum. Follow the street called Kuusisaarenpolku, you'll find us on the right at the end of the street. You'll get to Munkkiniemi from the city center with buses 20 and 30, or by the tram nr. 4. During the summer you can also take a city bike.
You can also take the metro to Aalto University and hop on bus 510 or 52.

Accessibility
The new side of the museum (incl. entrance, the museum shop, the gallery and the cafeteria) is accessible for everyone. The main entrance is accessible, there's a lift (max ca. 500 kg) in the gallery and there is also a wheelchair available (ask more at the front desk). Our special exhibitions and programs are usually on this side of the museum.
Cars may be parked right outside the main entrance for drop off of persons in wheelchair etc.
The old side of the museum is less accessible due to numerous steps and a staircase leading upstairs.
There are benches in the entrance lobby and the gallery, and we also have light-weight, foldable chairs that you can borrow and use during your visit.
There are induction loops at the front desk and in the ceiling of the gallery. More information about the location of these is available at the front desk. The gallery's induction loop is connected to the microphones that are used during e.g. opening speeches and lectures.
One of the toilets in the entrance hall is wheelchair accessible and the same toilet also has a changing table.
Dogs are not allowed inside the museum. Guide dogs are welcome.
