The WeeGee House, the self-described "cornucopia of museums, exhibitions and events", opened in October 2006 and includes five museums, a modern art gallery, media-art centre, café, museum shop and art school. So make sure you have plenty of time to see everything!
WeeGee includes the Espoo Museum of Modern Art (the biggest art museum in Finland), The Espoo City Museum (a cultural-historical museum), the Rautavaara Museum (presenting cultures from outside Europe), the Finnish Toy Museum (presenting toys and play situations from the early 20th century onwards), the Finnish Museum of Horology (dedicated to chronological measurement and the history of timepieces), Gallery AARNI (a modern art gallery) and the Computer Arts Centre (which organises and produces electronic and media art).
Espoo's School of Art is also housed in WeeGee, which teaches art to the young, while the WeeGee Café fuels all involved and visiting.
