Activities and events at Brage open air museum

Welcome to Brage’s open-air museum on Ostrobothnia Museum Day – open from 12 noon to 3 pm!

In the main building, you can explore two very different worlds from the turn of the 19th to 20th century:
On the ground floor is the Harf farmhouse, while the upper floor houses the Sohlstedt collection – a bourgeois home from the same era.
Come and experience the contrasts between rural and urban life – free admission!
