Guided tour in the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia

The best of Finland’s national treasures can be found at the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia, an ecologically designed exhibition and event centre on the fringes of Nuuksio National Park. Built entirely of massive wood elements, it is also an attractive destination for architecture lovers.

Two guided tour options are offered:

  • Finnish nature – tour at the main exhibition
    Haltia’s main exhibition will fascinate the visitor with its’ enthralling visualisation of the Finnish nature from our beautiful Baltic archipelagos to the windswept fells of Arctic Lapland. The guided tour will deepen the experience through opening the seven geographical and seasonal elements of the Finnish nature. Duration: 60 min.
  • Haltia – the pearl of architecture
    Haltia, designed by the Finnish architect Rainer Mahlamäki, is the first public building in Finland made entirely of massive cross-laminated timber. The architecture has been inspired by the Finnish national epic, Kalevala, and it features the renowned aspects of Finnish design, such as environmental sustainability, functionality and usage of advanced ecological solutions. Duration: 60 min.
