Runeberg museum, Artist's-home museum in Porvoo, Finland.
The Runeberg Museum displays original furnishings, personal items, manuscripts, and letters within the preserved residence of Finland's national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg.
Established in 1845, the museum building served as the residence of Johan Ludvig Runeberg and his wife Fredrika until their deaths, becoming Finland's first home museum in 1882.
The museum's collection includes hunting weapons, kitchenware, and houseplants propagated from Fredrika Runeberg's original specimens, representing 19th-century Finnish domestic life.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday during winter and daily in summer, with adult admission at 8 euros and guided tours available for groups by appointment.
The museum maintains living specimens of houseplants that trace their lineage directly to those cultivated by Fredrika Runeberg during her residence in the 19th century.
