The Corinthian columns of the Senate House, together with the dome above the house, refer to the Pantheon in Rome. This was intended to emphasize the role of the Senate in the areas of law and administration. The Ionic columns of the main university building refer to Greece and the science and art it represents.

Helsinki, the Finnish capital in the south of the country, is located on a peninsula on the Gulf of Finland. The main street, Mannerheimintie, is home to institutions such as the National Museum, which traces Finnish history from the Stone Age to the present day, the imposing Parliament building and Kiasma, a museum of contemporary art. The ornate red-brick Uspenski Cathedral overlooks the harbor.
