Turku: Handicrafts Museum 
Description
The museum is a folk park of traditional houses showing what life was like in the past. Unlike other parks (Riga, Skansen in Stockholm, Bygdøy in Oslo or Seurasaari in Helsinki) this isn't a collection of buildings brought together from around the nation. These buildings are in the same locations they were built on at the end of the 18th early 19th centuries. It was the only area to survive a massive fire that destroyed the rest of Turku in 1827 and after the city was rebuilt was scheduled for demolition. By the middle of the twentieth century nothing had happened so in 1940 the nation decided to preserve the area as a historical time capsule.
