South Karelia Museum is located at the northernmost tip of the Fortress of Lappeenranta in a warehouse that was originally built as an artillery depot. The museum buildings are different from the neoclassical brick garrisons of the fortress, as they were constructed using local stone. The old permanent exhibition of the South Karelia Museum has been taken down. The planning of the new permanent exhibition is underway, and it will be opened to audiences in the renovated exhibition space upon completion. The scale model of Viipuri (Vyborg), which represents the most central parts of the town as they were on September 2nd 1939, will be put back on display as part of the new permanent exhibition. The collections of the South Karelia Museum contain artefacts and photographs from Lappeenranta, the South Karelia region and the Karelian Isthmus, the last of which was ceded to the Soviet Union in 1944. The museum’s collections are regularly on display in exhibitions. In addition to exhibitions, the South Karelia Museum offers guided tours and hosts events and workshops. 4 SOUTH KARELIA MUSEUM’S EXHIBITIONS IN 2021 Ari Jaskari, Young Woman Smoking. Puumala, Lietvesi, 1989. – 11 April 2021 The East of Finland in Photographs The East of Finland in Photographs is an entertaining and nostalgic story about people, nature and borders. It is a story about eastern heroes – yarn-spinning women, lumberjacks, hunters and refugee mothers – but also early industry, the creation of the modern lifestyle and changing values. We know the East as the land of great forests, fast-flowing waters and forested hills cast in blue twilight, where the varied landscape and people gradually change as you travel northward. The exhibition will chart the imagery of the mythical regions of Savo, Karelia and Kainuu from the 1860s onwards. Taken as a whole, the exhibition will reveal how the Finnish East has been presented over the course of the past 150 years. The East in the photographs is a magically realistic fabric woven together from countless fragments. It hides riches but also poverty and is a place where exceptional sensitivity meets exceptional hardships. 2 May – 10 October 2021 Jalmari Lankinen – Architect of Viipuri, Photographer of Kannas This exhibition chronicles the life of architect and photographer Jalmari Lankinen (1894– 1970). Lankinen was an architect from Viipuri (Vyborg) whose work is still visible in buildings on both sides of Finland’s current south-eastern border. He was also an experimental photographer who recorded his life meticulously in photographs. Lankinen was among the first photographers to adopt colour slide film in his work, which he used to preserve both snippets of his family life in Karjalankannas (Karelian Isthmus) and the scenes of destruction wrought by the Winter War in Viipuri (Vyborg). The exhibition combines these two sides of Jalmari Lankinen – the architect and the photography enthusiast – and presents the stages of his life alongside his most important architectural designs. Detail of Soyboy by 5 Jussi Järvinen, 2018. 30 Oct 2021 – 13 March 2022 KORU7 The international art jewellery triennial KORU7 presents the newest art jewellery pieces from both up-and-coming and established artists from around the world. The exhibition is a topical look at the many questions of our time, examined through the lens of identity, the body and the world around us. The pieces displayed in the exhibition have been selected to reflect the different premises and modes of expression of art jewellery. The variety of forms and the fine detail reveal the skill of handcrafted expression. The materials of the pieces and the experiences they create encourage visitors to look at jewellery in new ways. The seventh KORU event has been produced by the Finnish Jewellery Art Association. 30 Oct 2021 – 13 March 2022 Sweet Tooth An exhibition of the products of Chymos, as well as those of local breweries and dairies.

Lappeenranta Art Museum is the Regional Art Museum of South-Eastern Finland. The museum collection is primarily composed of Finnish art from the 19th century to present day. One large and important collection is the collection by Viipurin Taiteenystävät ry (Viipuri Friends of Art). The art from South-Eastern Finland is one of the main focuses in the acquisitions of the museum. The exhibition program of the art museum presents a versatile overview of artistic phenomena. The main focus is on Finnish contemporary art, but the history of art is displayed regularly too. One of the museum’s priorities is to showcase art from South- Eastern Finland, but every now and then international exhibitions are arranged as well. In addition to temporary exhibitions, the Art Museum offers supplementary programmes, such as guided tours, events and workshops. Together the museums of Lappeenranta organize a customer panel and a museum club.

No, no, no my friend, Spring is the season we create amazing opportunities for skating, cross country skiing, appreciate the most. Why? – well the retreating ice, sparkling downhill skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and winter fish- waves and budding nature are all reasons to be extra cheer- ing. Also, remember to listen to the silence of the wintertime ful. Also while we’re being boastful, Lake Saimaa is at it’s best nature, gaze at the pure white snow, build a snowman – or if during this time of the year, especially if you’re looking to do you’re feeling especially courageous, try ice swimming.

The mouth of the Vantaanjoki River was selected as the location of the new town. However, the location of the town at the bottom of a shallow bay was not favourable. In the middle of the 17th century, a decision was made to move the town to Viron- niemi, the current Kruunuhaka. Helsinki languished greatly even in the new location. In the middle of the 18th century, it was decided to found a fortress, Viapori, later known as Suomenlinna, on the islands in front of the city.

Photo SVO The castle and old town VHPURI the capital of the province of Karjala and the county and diocese of Viipuri, is situated at the base of Viipuri Bay, which thrusts out in a north-westerly direction from the Gulf of Finland, at the outlet of the Saimaa Canal (60 43' N. lat., and 28 44" E. long.). It is the second largest town in Finland. Its population at the beginning of 1932 was 68,000, but on January Ist 1933 a number of suburbs on the western side were incorporated in the municipal area, resulting in an increase of about 16,000 inhabitants, so that the population of the town now numbers about 84,000.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF VIIPURI. The historical records and traditions of Viipuri go back very far indeed. Over a thousand years have elapsed since the founding of the first settlements in the locality. In those early days a port and trading centre arose at the mouth of the western branch of the River Vuoksi. This »Old Viipurio is believed to have been situated where Mon- repos Park now lies, a couple of kilometres north of present- day Viipuri. In the, ninth century it appears to have been protected by ramparts. The castle was founded in 1293 by Torgils or Tyrgils Knutsson, Constable of Sweden, who arrived at the head of a crusading fleet.

  • Viipurin Läänin Historiallinen Bibliografia 1812-1944
    VIIPURIN LÄÄNIN HISTORIALLINEN BIBLIOGRAFIA 1812-1944 Temaattinen kirjallisuusluettelo Suomen autonomian ja itsenäisyyden ajan Viipurin lääniä käsittelevistä teoksista. Toimittanut FM Olli-Matti Sopanen Joensuun yliopisto Historian laitos 2004 ii ESIPUHE Tämän tutkimustyön tavoitteena on ollut koota yhteen Viipurin lääniä käsitteleviä historiallisia teoksia Suomen autonomian ja itsenäisyyden ajalta eli Haminan rauhasta (1809) Pariisin rauhaan (1947). Vaihtoehtoisesti ja yhtä perustelusti rajavuosina voidaan pitää Vanhan Suomen liittämistä Suomen suurruhtinaskuntaan (1812) ja jatkosodan päättymistä Neuvostoliiton kanssa solmittuun Moskovan välirauhaan (1944). Tällöin on aluksi huomioituva monet laaja-alaiset yleisteokset, joissa käsitellään 1800- ja 1900-luvun Karjalan Kannasta ja Laatokan Karjalaa tai ns. Raja-Karjalaa. Alueellisesti tarkastelun ulkopuolelle jäävät siis ne julkaisut, joissa käsitellään pääasiallisesti Vienan ja Aunuksen Karjalaa Venäjän puolelta sekä Pohjois-Karjalaa ja Kymenlaaksoa Suomen puolelta. Idässä Viipurin läänin raja vastasi tunnetusti Tarton rauhan (1920) mukaista valtakunnan rajaa ja läntisimmät mukaanotetut karjalaispitäjät ovat seuraavat: Vironlahti, Miehikkälä, Ylämaa, Säkkijärvi, Vahviala, Nuijamaa, Jääski, Kirvu, Rautjärvi, Simpele, Parikkala, Saari, Uukuniemi, Ruskeala, Pälkjärvi, Värtsilä, Soanlahti, Korpiselkä, Suojärvi sekä Suomenlahden neljä ulkosaarta, Suursaari, Tytärsaari, Lavansaari ja Seiskari.

  • Border Karelia Through Rose-Coloured Glasses? Gazes Upon a Ceded Territory
    Border Karelia through rose-coloured glasses? Gazes upon a ceded territory NETTA BÖÖK Böök, Netta (2004). Border Karelia through rose-coloured glasses? Gazes upon a ceded territory. Fennia 182: 1, pp. 33–45. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. Border Karelia is the former heartland of the Finnish-Karelian Orthodox cul- ture. It has also been regarded, along with Viena Karelia, as a mythical place, the last reserve of the ‘original Finnish’ Kalevala culture. After the Continua- tion War ended in 1945, Finland was forced to cede Border Karelia to the Soviet Union. It was then populated with citizens from other parts of the Un- ion, and became for 45 years inaccessible for Finns. In post-war Finland the ceded Karelia gained a new nostalgic aura, while the Soviet (Russian) attitude towards the territories was largely determined by political constructions and ‘Soviet nationalism’. The present Border Karelia is a rather poor Russian terri- tory, characterized by a multifaceted identity and heritage. Remnants of pre- war cultural landscapes, villages and buildings are still evident. They arouse concern and emotions amongst Finns and pre-war inhabitants touring the area, but there’s currently also an increasing interest among the Russians in the his- tory and pre-war reality of the territory. The article discusses the concept of built heritage in relation to these different identities, and the uses of the Kare- lian past. The main objective of the research is to find a means to unite present- day Finnish and Russian interests regarding the maintenance and use of the heritage.
