Old photographs
Akseli Gallen-Kallela photographed a great deal. These images are from his collection of photographs, which also contains pictures taken by acquaintances and members of the family. The collection includes photographs of individuals and family members, pictures of friends and acquaintances and photographs from many trips in Europe, Africa and America, and of the family’s different homes.
Some 400 digitised old photographs can be viewed, downloaded and used freely on Flickr. The Gallen-Kallela Museum is included in Flickr Commons and there are no copyright restrictions on the use of the images. For more about rights concerning photographs.
