## Commentary

In 1896, while still a student, Saarinen founded the architectural firm of Gesellius, Lindgren &amp; Saarinen, known as GLS, together with Herman Geselius \(1874-1916\) and Armas Eliel Lindgren \(1874-1929\). The National Folk Museum of Finland \(Suomen kansallismuseo\) was designed and built by GLS.
