Curator at Sarka Elsa Heitala talks to TBIH's Jens Beutmann about the Finnish Museum of The Year 2021 - the award it has received by The Finnish Museums Association.
Sarka Museum preserves the history of agriculture and rural life and shows the history of Finnish agriculture in a modern, versatile and interesting way. The opening of Sarka was preceded by years of work and political activity from the local heritage activists. A new building was erected for the museum and the exhibition was opened in June 2005. Even the slightly challenging location of the museum is not an obstacle to the museum's insightful pedagogical activities, as the museum's guided virtual tours reach the whole of Finland. The museum is actively tackling current phenomena: exhibitions have addressed climate change, among other things.
