Helsinki Art Museum (Finnish: Helsingin taidemuseo, Swedish: Helsingfors konstmuseum), abbreviated as HAM, is an art museum in Helsinki, Finland. It is located in Tennispalatsi in the district of Kamppi. The museum reopened after renovations and rebranding (as HAM) in 2015.
The museum is owned and operated by the city of Helsinki. It looks after the city's art collection, containing over 10,000 works. A quarter of the works are on display in public places such as parks, streets, schools and libraries.
The art museum hosts a small permanent exhibition of the works of Tove Jansson, including two large frescoes originally created for the restaurant of Helsinki City Hall.
