See and do

Step into the past

The natural beauty of Lake Tuusula attracted many masters of art, music and literature, and it is this which makes the area one of a kind in Finland. The golden age of Finnish art is brought to life at home museums which take the visitor back to the heyday of the Finnish National Romantic era at the turn of the 20th century. In addition to historical cultural sights, events and exhibitions, the area offers museums for those interested in military history.
