About Lusto – Suomen Metsämuseo
Lusto works with Finland’s forest culture in Punkaharju. The visit presents the relationship between people and the forest through objects, images and exhibition environments. The theme includes work, everyday uses and different ways of perceiving trees, in addition to a species collection.
The building allows you to spend an indoor period on the subject before or after walking through the nearby reserve. Exhibitions and activities offer perspectives that meet different interests, from labor history to sensory experiences. Check the program to choose the route that makes sense for your group.
The museum is located next to the railway line between Savonlinna and Parikkala, close to Lusto stop. Check service on the date and the final walk. To combine museum and reserve, set aside a day and bear in mind that the chosen ridge section may require a different access.
