Gorgeous
example
of
living
history!
This
is
an
incredible
museum,
but
not
at
all
a
typical
museum:
it's
an
entire
neighborhood
or
wooden
houses.
It's
fascinating
seeing
so
much,
especially
how
tiny
many
of
the
spaces
were
but
how
many
people
crammed
into
them.
Some
tips
and
helpful
hints
before
you
go:
1.
It's
not
really
handicap-accessible.
The
houses
are
historic
and
have
many
uneven
staircases
and
low
doorways,
etc.
It's
also
on
quite
a
steep
hill.
2.
There's
a
section
for
children
but
given
the
inaccessible
nature
you'll
want
to
leave
your
stroller
at
home.
3.
It's
probably
a
bit
larger
than
you
expect.
If
you
want
to
see
everything,
plan
on
4
hours
or
longer.
4.
If
you
take
public
transportation,
and
aren't
ready
for
a
lot
of
stairs,
I
recommend
the
bus
stop
right
in
front
of
the
museum,
NOT
the
one
Google
often
recommends
which
involves
walking
up
the
entire
hill
by
way
of
many
stairs,
and
then
puts
you
out
at
the
side
of
the
museum,
necessitating
more
walking.
5.
The
museum
is
staffed
by
people
doing
the
historic
professions
or
demonstrating
something,
wearing
period
clothing.
6.
Signs,
instructions,
etc
are
all
in
Finnish,
Swedish,
and
English,
and
employees
can
help
and
direct
you
in
any.
