Sarka – The Finnish Museum of Agriculture, Agricultural museum in Loimaa, Finland
Sarka is a museum in Loimaa dedicated to Finnish agriculture, presenting tools, machinery, and how farming developed over time. The exhibitions show how cultivation methods, farming techniques, and daily life on farms evolved across different periods.
Discussions about preserving agricultural traditions started in the 1940s and led to the official establishment by the Ministry of Education in 1985. The museum was created to document and save knowledge about Finnish farming for future generations.
The exhibitions show how Finnish farmers worked their land and adapted their methods over time. You see everyday objects and tools that reveal how rural life and agricultural practices changed across generations.
The museum is located at Vanhankirkontie 383 and features a café-restaurant and a shop. Visitors can also explore outdoor areas on the grounds.
The name Sarka comes from a Finnish word for a narrow strip of cultivated land. This naming choice reflects how the museum aims to honor the relationship between people and the fields they worked.
