Joensuu Bunker Museum, Military and open-air museum in Marjala district, Joensuu, Finland.
The Joensuu Bunker Museum features two concrete dugouts, weapon displays, trenches, machine gun positions, and tank barriers across its grounds.
Established in 1995, the museum preserves a section of the Salpa Line, a 1200-kilometer defensive fortification constructed between 1940 and 1944 along Finland's eastern border.
The museum exhibits document Finnish military engineering and defense strategies through original equipment, photographs, and detailed technical explanations.
From June to July, visitors can explore the museum Wednesday through Friday between 10 AM and 3 PM, with adult admission at 4 euros and reduced rates for students.
