Museum next to Castle
The museum is very close to Savonlinna castle. While you buy ticket for the castle you can pay 1 Euro extra and get access to this museum. Museum visit for 1 Euro in Finland is not bad. Down stairs there are permanent exhibition about life in Saimaa region. There pictures and exhibitions about wood transport with steam boats in saimaa region. Upstairs there were some very interesting paintings on display. The exhibition were temporary and vary. During summer you can also see the old steamboats used for log transport and try to get an insight of life of those on board.

my ideal concept of Museum
After the Gala of Scala Tournée in Savonlinna Opera Festival, they hosted us for a buffet in the Museum. Indeed joy and music invaded the calm and clean rooms of the Museum up to late night. But a few days later I came back, to see the Museum: not a big museum, of course, but really instructive. Here you may understand the work, the fights of people in this Region, to bear climate high demands, but also to help Nature to survive better, to make Men and Nature live together healthy. You may finally look at seals, but also share love for sports and, why not?, look the curious exhibition of Barbie hand made dressed with Finnish costumes!
