Seurasaari Open-Air Museum

Seurasaari, 00250 Helsinki

Seurasaari Open-Air Museum 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.


Take a peek at life in days of yore in smoke cabins, crofts and manors, participate in a guided tour, have a closer look at the renovated parsonage and its garden, and immerse yourself in history with a hands-on approach.


You can also sample some treats in the museum café and pay a visit to the renovated museum shop, where you will find unique products that convey the atmosphere of the museum. All of the buildings in the Open-Air Museum have been brought in from various parts of the country – there is good reason to call Seurasaari ‘rural Finland in miniature.’


Join the popular guides on a tours to learn more about Finnish rural life. Daily tours in English at 3:00 PM. For tours in Finnish, Swedish, and German, please visit our website.


In the perfect tranquility of Seurasaari island, it’s hard to believe that we’re just a short bus or city bike ride away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Helsinki.
