Posters – with passion

Welcome! Come to Finland is all about Finnish travel posters and travel history.

It all started with an idea, ten years ago, outside an Antiquarian Book-shop in Helsinki. Today it is a succesful cultural and commercial project.

The Finland Posters and the postcards

Your home deserves some vintage Finnish design! Check out our Poster Shop.

New: The book in full screen

Come to Finland is a high quality coffee table book filled with vintage travel posters from Finland. Check for yourself, enjoy Come to Finland in full screen.

The book has been published in five different language editions. For over two years the project team dug for vintage posters in dusty archives, museums and contacted poster collectors all over the world. Read more about the Poster Hunters >>>

Finland = glamour, style and wilderness

Today many sharp brains try to figure out how Finland should brand itself. There is a lot of talk, but in the old days they did not only talk, they also created.

They created an image of Finland as the country of glamour, trendiness and romance (we kid you not! One slogan was actually "Finland – land of romance").

French celebration

When the French version of Come to Finland was published, we celebrated with a virtual show, enjoy! Show Cap sur la Finlande (Flash).
