Museum sights in Joensuu

  1. Carelicum

    If you want to know more about Karelian history or culture, the Carelicum should be your first stop. It’s a conceptual museum with 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 the Karelian town of Sortavala (now in Russia), upstairs.
