    Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum

    If you only see one museum in Finland, make it this handicrafts museum. Forget the stuffy exhibits, this is a genuinely historic portion of town that has survived the near-destruction of Turku including the savage Great Fire of 1827. All of the buildings are in their original locations, unlike other open-air museums where the buildings are relocated or recreated. The area consists of artisans’ and workers’ homes with a very real sense of their lives, thanks to in-period staff.
