Nikolai Sinebrychoff started the Sinebrychoff brewery in 1819, that later grew into a successful corporation. The Sinebrychoff family was a keen supporter of art and culture. Their cultural heritage still lives for example in Helsinki City Theater and in Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. The museum is located at Bulevardi 40, which previously was the home of Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff. Paul And Fanny were active collectors of art, and after a few decades their collection grew into the largest private collection in the Nordic countries. Fanny Sinebrychoff donated the collection in 1921 to state of Finland. The House Museum of Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff that is located at the Second floor of the museum still holds most of this collection. Red Cellar of the museum currently holds exhibition The Sinebrychoff Brewing Family that presents the history of the family in more detail.
