Amazing collection of the Finnish Orthodox heritage in Finland. I was impressed by the organization of the place which exceeded my expectations! and mostly by the historical reflection which was a very interesting part of my visit to the museum. Never miss navigating the photos and info on the smart screen there! The ticket is a bit expensive in my opinion (around 20€), but it is worth. However, I visited when all museums of Kuopio were free of charge to visit. So that was a golden opportunity!!
