The open-air museum of Seurasaari is situated on a stunning emerald isle just a few kilometers from the heart of Helsinki.

All the different provinces of Finland are represented in the well conserved old buildings and they give an overall view of Finnish geography life from the 18th to the 20th century. At present, there are 87 separate edifices at Seurasaari Museum.
