The Finnish Embassy building, the Ilmarinen, was officially opened in February 2002. It still attracts wide interest around Australia and has been praised as an architectural masterpiece. The building symbolises modern day Finland: its openness, high technology and love of nature.
The Embassy of Finland is approximately five kilometres south of the city centre.
