Lonely Planet review

South Karelian Museum at the northern end of the fortress has good displays on the prehistory and history of the area, as well as temporary exhibitions and a scale model of Vyborg as it looked before it fell to the Russians in 1939. Before WWII, Vyborg was the capital of Karelia and the second biggest town in Finland; it is a source of much wistful nostalgia for Finns in general and Karelians in particular.
