Birthplace of Aleksis Kivi

The wooden residence features traditional Finnish architectural elements with original furnishings that represent a 19th-century tailor's household.

Born in 1834, Finnish writer Aleksis Kivi spent his early years in this house before pursuing education in Helsinki and becoming a literary figure.

The museum collection includes personal artifacts and manuscripts that demonstrate the development of Finnish literature through Kivi's contributions.

Located at Palojoentie 271, the museum operates as part of the Nurmijärvi Museum network and presents exhibitions about Finnish literary heritage.

Visitors can see the exact room where Kivi wrote his initial drafts, including notes for his masterwork 'Seven Brothers', the first Finnish novel.
