FULLTEXT01.Pdf Turku Museum of History Heidi Jokinen Studio 12 Supervisor: Per Fransson Program The program is divided into a two-floor-building. The entrances of the museum are on the 1st floor. The Exhibitions begin from the entrance floor with the Major International Exhibition space which is for changing exhibitions. The exhibition is in the 1930’s warehouse building, it is an open space lined with columns which makes it easy to be transformed for different kinds of exhibitions. The Main Exhibition space for the history of Turku and Finland is on two levels on the 2nd floor. The exhibition is entered through the 1st floor Major Exhibition with a staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. The space is open with just a couple of dividing walls and columns making it flexible for changes in exhibition. For instance, the Virtual Reality Experience rooms are set between the columns on the second floor for a different kind of museum experience – Turku Goes 1812 where the visitor can experience parts of the city as it was 15 years prior to the Great fire of Turku. The Museum also houses a Museum shop, a Restaurant with seating for 150 people, and an Auditorium with 180 seats on the 1st floor. Existing Buildings The existing buildings on site are used as part of the exhibition spaces as well as a part of the restaurant dining area, museum storage area and as rentable collaboration spaces for the museum and the local businesses. Landscape The site should engage the visitor in history directly upon arrival – a stone paved pathway lined with concrete information walls leads the visitor toward the entrance. The information walls give the visitor a chronological description of significant events in Finland’s history. This way part of the museum is accessible to all visitors to the site - even when the building is not open. Materials I have chosen glass as the main the façade material to reflect the historical surroundings of the Castle area. The other façade material is oak wood panels in reference to the regional ‘flower’, oak. Existing buildings on site that are part of the building are a brick building and four yellow- painted log buildings.

  • A Brief History of Six Ancient Finnish Castles
    1 (2) 8.1.2014 A brief history of six ancient Finnish castles The Ancient Castles stamp booklet presents the following six ancient Finnish castles, each of which has its own interesting history. Suomenlinna Construction of Viapori Castle was started in 1748 by A. Ehrensvärd. The fortress surrendered to the Russians in 1808, and when Finland became independent, it was named Suomenlinna. In the early years of independence, it served as prison camp and closed military zone. The area started to be developed for tourism in the late 1950s, and now Suomenlinna, which lies directly in front of Helsinki, has become a popular tourist destination and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Further information: www.suomenlinna.fi/en Häme Castle Häme Castle was founded in the late 1200s and was converted into a residential castle in the 1700s. The castle served as a prison from 1837 to 1972. Restoration work began in 1953 and was completed in 1988. Today, the castle serves as a museum and hosts a variety of exhibitions and events. Further information: www.nba.fi/en/museums/hame_castle Raseborg Castle Raseborg Castle was built in the 1370s in Snappertuna. The castle, which had been used to defend Swedish trade interests, was abandoned in the 1550s and it fell into decay. Restoration work began in the late 1800s and continued until the end of the 1980s. The castle is now open to the public during the summer. Further information: www.raseborg.org/slott/eng/ Kastelholm Castle Kastelholm was originally built to defend the Åland Islands in the late 1300s.

  • Streets, Seals Or Seeds As Early Manifestations of Urban Life in Turku, Finland
    Streets, seals or seeds as early manifestations of urban life in Turku, Finland Liisa Seppänen In the 2000s, the studies concerning the early phases of urbanization in Finland have re-actualized after many decades. The studies have focused on Turku, which is the oldest town of the present-day Finland and has been a target for many excavations. The focus of this paper is in the beginnings of the urbanization of Turku with the questions when and why the town was founded. The questions are old and discussed in many studies since the early 20th century. In this article, these questions are reflected on the basis recent archaeo- logical findings and the circumstantial evidence from historical sources. I am presenting my interpretation about the course of events, which led to the establishment of Turku. The town was not founded on a virgin land, but it was preceded by human activities like farming and possibly gatherings of religious or commercial nature. The political circum- stances activated the planning of the town in the late 13th century, which were realized in the turn of the 13th and 14th century. It seems, that the urbanization process took several decades and probably it was not until the mid 14th century when Turku met all the bench- marks set for the medieval town. Tracing the earliest evidence red to a more appropriate place. The document is dated in Perugia on the The origins of Turku (fig. 1) have fas- 29th of January in 1229, but it does cinated Finnish historians and archa- not, however, reveal the location of eologists for more than a century.

    Encapsulating Visions of Nationhood Finland (1911) as a Memory Box HANNU SALMI At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there was a growing interest in Finland to increase tourism by making the home country known among its own citizens and by arousing international interest in travelling to the shores of the Baltic Sea.
