Lonely Planet review for South Karelian Museum

South Karelian Museum examines Karelia’s prehistory with Celticlike artefacts – look out for the reconstruction of an elk hunted on ski (literally). There’s a long look back at when Vyborg was part of Karelia with photos and oral histories from before 1939. It’s a source of much wistful nostalgia for most Finns and some older Finns have been known to be moved to tears by how effectively this exhibit brings the town back to life.
