world reviewer
Four centuries of traditional Finnish living have been preserved from all over the country and are now on display on Seurasarri Island. Not a museum in the traditional sense, the Open-Air Museum is an amalgamation of 17th century churches, 20th century farmsteads, and a huge variety of buildings that span the hundreds of years in between. A walk around the property reveals eighty-seven historical structures, placed in natural settings and creating the feeling that one has somehow walked back in time.
