Finland’s second largest open-air museum, complimented with modern indoor space
The intriguing Pielinen Museum is close to Lieksa centre and is open year-round. The vast museum area includes the open-air museum and Lieksa Town Museum. Together, they preserve the cultural heritage of forest work. In the open-air museum, located next to the Lieksanjoki River, there are 70 buildings which preserve building heritage for visitors to enjoy and explore.
