Ahola

Ahola is a traditional Finnish wooden house with exhibition spaces showing artworks and personal objects. The rooms give insight into the working and living world of its two well-known residents from literature and visual art.

The house became home to a writer and painter in 1897, who were part of an artistic movement at Lake Tuusula. This gathering of artistic people contributed to Finland's cultural development during that period.

The house shows how two Finnish artists of the early 20th century lived and worked together. You can see how their living spaces were also their workplaces and what objects mattered to them in daily life.

The museum is easiest to reach by train to Järvenpää station, from where a cultural path leads toward the lake. The route is easy to follow and the surroundings are pleasant to explore during your visit.

The house still contains original furnishings and desks where actual work took place. The collection shows which artworks surrounded the residents and how they shaped their working space themselves.
