The Museum

Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, which opened in 1909, is a place for visitors of all ages. When you arrive on the island, you are immediately transported to a rural landscape from the olden days, far away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Museum buildings

88 separate buildings give an overall view of the life in Finnish countryside from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
