Original restored Finnish working houses dating more than 200 years. Friendly staff explaining the details of many different crafts. A lot to see and a really great feeling of past times!

I figured we'll just go check another museum. Well, this certainly wasn't just another museum: it is a cluster of historical buildings, several blocks. There's something to see for hours. And lots of guides waiting for you!

Excellent period(s) museum. The houses are a genuinely old district that survived large fires in the 1800s. Some very good displays.

Lots of friendly, patient, easy-going staff telling and showing how many different items were made 100-200 years ago in Finland. You get a feeling they would be ready to talk with you all day (at least in Finnish language). Toilets were modern, 200 year old ones were not in use anymore. Mind your head, people and doorways were not as tall as they are now. Natural lighting makes it quite dark in some of the houses.

We spent the whole day here, family with children aged 13 and 10. Started with excellent English language 45 minute tour. The day we went there were handicraft activities, pottery etc for the children which kept us interested all afternoon. A relaxing, interesting, memorable day for all of us.

I really had fun here watching every one doing there handicrafts and seeing the old Finnish architecture. It was a blast to the past. However, there was a touring group in the first home we went in that plowed us down. No one was polite about it either or made an effort to let us through, so I was stuck in a corner for 10 minutes. I highly advise to avoid touring groups.I

One of my favorite museums. I also recommend trying their lunch (12-14 at Kisälli Cafe outside the gate). There's only one option every day but I've always been happy to get a traditional Finnish home-cooked meal in a very peaceful cafe. It includes home-made bread and salad. If someone in your group doesn't like the main dish, you can always fill your stomach with pancake

It is a must-see place in Turku. We visited this museum in August 2016. It felt like we traveled back in time. We couldn't get enough of it.

Open-air museums that capture real, ordinary lives of working people are the best kind of museum.

If you got some extra time, this is a fun little time travel to a time no more. Make sure to come while the actors are active.

Open air museum in an old Turku neighbourhood, with traditional wooden houses and people showing the art of handicraft. Really worth seeing.
The cafe near the main entrance is also great.

It is wonderful place. It is easy to spend at least few hours there and not realise time runs so fast. Mostly wooden, old and cosy houses with real manufacturers working inside is great experience. It is also worth to visit small Caffè located few steps from the main gate.
