Accepted answer

A couple of pointers:

Tennispalatsi (Helsinki Art Museum)

There will be two ongoing exhibitions in December:


Akseli Gallen-Kallela: Ad astra, 1907

Tip: free entrace to Tennispalatsi on Fridays :)
[Or at least used to be - I'm trying to find out if this is still true; will edit later.]

If you're after something decidedly Finnish, you should probably check out the Gallen-Kallela one.

Kiasma (modern art)

See their calendar

Ateneum (Finnish National Gallery)

They'll have (among others) these temporary exhibitions:

...plus permanent collections.

All of the above are in located in the heart of the city. If you're willing to venture out to the suburbs, there's e.g. EMMA (Espoo Museum of Modern Art) ~half hour bus trip away, with exhibitions like:

Of course, there are lots of other places too. For example, you'll find info on smaller, City of Helsinki owned museums here. I was actually going to mention, as one example, the same exhibition as Mark did: Out to Sea – 150 Years of Sailing in Helsinki at Hakasalmi Villa, next to Finlandia Hall.
