Salpa Line Museum, Military museum in Miehikkälä, Finland.

The Salpa Line Museum features indoor exhibitions with multimedia displays and outdoor areas containing preserved World War II military fortifications and bunkers.

The museum preserves a section of the Salpa Line defense system, constructed between 1940 and 1944 to protect Finland's eastern border during World War II.

The museum exhibits demonstrate Finnish military engineering expertise through preserved anti-tank trenches, concrete bunkers, and military equipment from the wartime period.

Located at Säästöpirtintie 70, the museum charges entrance fees of 10 euros for adults and 7 euros for students, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The museum grounds contain an authentic company defense center with anti-tank gun positions and underground dugouts that housed 20 soldiers during wartime operations.
