Turku

The country has comfortable small towns and cities, as well as vast areas of unspoiled nature. About 10% of the area is made up by 188,000 lakes, with a similar number of islands. Finland extends into the Arctic, where the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun can be seen. The mythical mountain of Korvatunturi is said to be the home of Santa Claus, and there is a Santaland in Rovaniemi. While Finland is a high-technology welfare state, Finns love to head to their summer cottages in the warmer months to enjoy all manner of relaxing pastimes including sauna, swimming, fishing and barbecuing during the short but bright summer. Finland has a distinctive language and culture that sets it apart from the rest of Nordic Europe. Notably lacking in craggy mountains or crenellated fjords, Finland is not the adrenalin-laden winter sports paradise you might expect: the traditional Finnish pastime is cross-country skiing through more or less flat terrain. If you're looking for downhill skiing, snowboarding etc., you'll need to head up to Lapland and resorts like Levi and Saariselkä.

The museum "A home" was Consul Alfred and Hélène Jacobsson's private home that the couple donated to the foundation of the Turku Academy. The museum was opened to the public in 1932 in the original building on Tavastgatan 30 and has been working in the present building on Biskopsgatan 14 since 1965.

"A home" museum on consul Alfred Jacobssonin ja hänen vaimonsa Hélènen Turku Akademien säätiölle lahjoittama kotimuseo. Museo avattiin yleisölle vuonna 1932 alkuperäisessä rakennuksessa Hämeenkadulla. Museo on vuodesta 1965 toiminut nykyisessä rakennuksessa Piispankadulla.
