In Finland the first car museum was the Stensböle museum, which was opened in 1964 by Iván Wallensköld-Rotkirch, an artist from Porvoo.

The local Automobile Museum Advisory Board helped the process, which will see 11 cars and parts displayed at such museums as  the Espoo Automobile Museum, the South Karelia Automobile Museum, the Kruunupyy Saab Museum, the Bus and Coach Industry Museum in Lavia, the Myllyn Vanhat Autot Museum, and the Vehoniemi Automobile Museum from Summer, 2026.
