Seurasaari Open Air Museum
The Seurasaari open-air Museum allows visitors to step back in
time and glimpse the traditional way of life in the Finnish
countryside, and all this in the heart of the capital city. The
museum, situated on a lovely green island accessed from the
mainland via a footbridge, consists of a collection of cottages,
farmsteads, parsonages, rural churches, manor houses and other old
buildings, all preserved and relocated from their original sites
around the provinces of Finland. The 86 buildings currently on the
museum site have been arranged to form a complete replica of a
country district, reflecting what life was like in various levels
of rural society between the 18th and 20th centuries.
