Kuopio museum, Natural science and cultural history museum in Kuopio, Finland
The museum building features Art Nouveau architecture with elements inspired by medieval Finnish castles, creating a prominent structure on the edge of Snellman Park.
Constructed in 1907, it stands as Finland's third oldest purpose-built museum building, following Helsinki's Ateneum and Turku's Art Museum.
The museum presents exhibitions across three floors, combining Northern Savo's historical artifacts with displays about Eastern Finland's natural environment and development.
