This museum evokes the life of the Finns of the past. Farms and houses from different parts of Finland are reconstructed on this pleasant land. We walk from one to the other to discover the interiors of these dwellings, which are striking for the beautiful simplicity of their interior decoration, centred around enclosed beds and wall carpets (ryiji). Very characteristic, a large traditional Karelian log house. During the tourist season, a musician even plays the kantele. The large 18th-century state residence, entirely made of wood, houses interesting Gustavian-style furniture (Gustav III, King of Sweden, corresponds to the French Louis XV). See also the small and very Spartan hut where Aleksis Kivi wrote his novel The Seven Brothers. Religious service on Sundays in a small 17th century wooden church where, as wall lights, a row of carved wooden arms carry candles. Also take a trip to the old smoke sauna and the old mill. Objects remind us of the years of great misery and famine, such as shoes made of braided birch bark. Please note that the museum is only open from May 15 to September 15. On site, for those who want, guided tours (in English) are available from June 15 to August 15, every day at 3pm. Bar and restaurant are available for a break during the walk. The museum also has a nice souvenir shop.

Il faut sortir du centre de la ville pour y parvenir mais ce musée vaut vraiment le détour. Vous pourrez y découvrir des anciennes habitations en profitant d'une belle balade.

L'une des plus belles visites à Helsinki, ce musée de plein air présente des habitations typiques finlandaises.

Musée en plein air avec des maisons de toutes les époques. J'y suis allée en hiver, le musée est donc fermé mais on peut tout de même accéder à l’île, avec ces nombreux écureuils et oies sauvages pour une très agréable promenade.
