This gold museum has several parts. Nearest the entrance are replica buildings from American goldfields; the nearby smoke sauna and octagonal hut are less flashy but original. Rockhounds will enjoy the gemstone and mineral exhibition, but the highlight is the main museum, which covers the Finnish gold rush and gold production around the world. A cubic metre of sand is on display along with the sobering 2g of gold it normally contains here. In summer try your luck and pan for gold (per hour/day €10/40).
