Ahola

Ahola exhibits the life of two artists, painter Venny Soldan-Brofeld and her husband, writer Juhani Aho. Soldan-Brofeldt and Aho were the first of many to settle on the shores of Tuusulanjärvi, in 1897, and the first members of the Tuusulanjärvi artists’ community, later to be joined by composer Jean Sibelius, painter Eero Järnefelt, and painter Pekka Halonen with their families.

The ticket office also has a small museum shop and a café.
