New forms of cooperation between the Helsinki University Museum and university students
The small museum collections of the University of Helsinki will be transferred to excellent new facilities right in the city centre. Some of these collections specialise in the more than 360-year history of the University and in the history of Finnish science, while others are concerned with the history of medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, geology, and textiles, clothing and craft design. Previously, the collections were open only by appointment, but from autumn 2003 onwards, they will be open to the general public. The new museum will devote much effort to co-operation with students. The University will continue to develop its museum studies module and in the future students may be able to complete their practical training periods at the University Museum. These and other forms of co-operation will be outlined in this article. As colecçôes da Universidade de Helsînquia serâo transferidas durante o ano de 2003 para um edificio no centro da cidade.
