Kierikki Stone Age Centre, Stone Age museum in Oulu, Finland

The Kierikki Stone Age Centre contains exhibition halls displaying archaeological artifacts and tools discovered in North Ostrobothnia dating back to 5000 BC.

The center began operations in 1995 under municipal leadership, receiving state and European Union funding before opening its doors to visitors in September 2001.

The facility maintains numerous reconstructed Neolithic dwellings and structures where visitors can learn about prehistoric daily activities through hands-on demonstrations.

Located 55 kilometers northeast of Oulu along the Iijoki river, the center includes a restaurant, hotel accommodations, and conference facilities for guests.

The main building stands as the largest log structure in Scandinavia, housing an archaeological exhibition space and modern auditorium for educational presentations.
