Museums in Finland

A museum which is always in a state of readiness! All children will enjoy themselves among all the fire trucks which they are also allowed to sit in. After exploring the museum, the children’s’ own fire truck waits outdoors; here they can jump in and out as much as they want. There is also an old-fashioned handheld hose which gives a sense of how it was to be a fireman in times past. Swings, a sandbox and a large trampoline add extra fun to the games.

The idea of founding a private car museum dates back to the 1960s when the owners first started renovating old cars. The museum was finally opened in 1999 in Ylämylly, some 13 km from Joensuu, in premises of over 2000m2. Despite the great number of items on show, the museum still looks for new interesting vehicles to be renovated.

The Espoo Car Museum is the largest, most diversified and oldest vehicle museum in Finland. Objects and special exhibitions are often altered, so also those who revisit beautiful Pakankylä in Espoo may find something new.There are cars and motorcycles from the early 1900s up until family cars of the 1960s and 1970s, which have disappeared from the motoring scene. Our sports car collection is of major interest, too.
