The Finnish National Board of Antiquities (Finnish: Museovirasto, Swedish: Museiverket) preserves Finland's material cultural heritage: collects, studies and distributes knowledge of it. The Board is a cultural and research institution, but it is also a government authority charged with the protection of archaeological sites, built heritage, cultural-historically valuable environments and cultural property, in collaboration with other officials and museums.

The Board offers a wide range and diversified range of services, a professional staff of specialists, the exhibitions and collections of its several museums, extensive archives, and a specialized scientific library, all of which are at the disposal of the general public.

The National Board of Antiquities of Finland is attached to the Ministry of Education.

From its inception in 1972 until the late 1990s, the director of the organization was Anna-Liisa Hirviluoto.
