Located about 40 km from Mikkeli in the village of Toijola, Pien-Toijola Open-Air Museum offers a fascinating look in to the rural Finnish life in the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum has 28 buildings for visitors to explore, from the main building to barns, storehouses and saunas. Visitors have a chance to see how Finnish farms and households functioned and how peasants lived during those times while they observe the many artifacts on display which were in everyday use in the past.

Owned by the Toijonen family since 1672, the Open-Air Museum has an honorary plaque from the Foundation for Finnish Peasant Culture for preserving a significant rural cultural environment. Nearby at Astuvansalmi visitors can also view the largest collection of ancient rock paintings in the Nordic countries.

The museum opens for the summer season on June 15th and it is open every day except Mondays from 11 am to 4 pm. There is an entrance fee of 7€ per person, which includes a guided tour.
