Lonely Planet review

The Carelicum is a fine conceptual museum focusing on Karelia - its history, people and customs. This is an excellent place to get acquainted with Karelia before heading further east or north. There's one main floor of photographic exhibits and static displays, an interactive area for kids modelled on part of old Joensuu, and a miniature model of Sortavala (now in Russia) upstairs. There is also a gift shop and a good café on the ground floor.
