As some might have read in a previous topic, I went to visit my girlfriend in Finland. 
Unfortunatly Finland must be one of the worst places to find fossils in the world, I did manage to find some quartz vains and a few pieces that may or may not be amber (have to do the hot needle test on them first)
Even urban fossil hunting is near impossible as pretty much all buildings are made from the fossil-lacking stones that can be found in Finland. 
The only urban fossils I found was in the Burger King in the Helsinki Central Station, the floor was littered with orthocones there. 
But Finland really isn't a good place to hunt fossils.

But one thing that definitly is a worth a visit is the Finnish Museum of Natural History!
It isn't a really big museum, the collection isn't that big, but the way it is presented is very awesome! 
One of the few musea that nails being modern and educative at the same time without overdoing it. 
Especially the Taxidermy diorama's were done amazingly. 

But I will ofcourse start this topic with what I think will interest you guys the most, the Paleontology part of the museum.

And here are a few pictures of other displays in the museum. 
I really found it a very beautifull museum that is definiatly worth a visit if you are around. 
I was really surprised by how amazingly done the taxidermy diarama's were done and the models of extinct fauna and flora where very nicely done!

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Awesome trip!

 

Fantastic taxidermy, esp of the polar bear...

Yes indeed, I've been to many musea around the world, but this one had the most beautifull taxidermy display's I've ever seen, the pictures really don't do it justice as it is simply breathtaking in real life.
