Finland: Museum in Lappeenranta


We went to a museum in Lappeenranta. It’s called Wolkoffin Museo ja Kauppa. It seems like a famous place- as even Fins who live in the area go there for a tour. It’s supposed to be popular because a very wealthy Russian family used to live there; and they eventually donated it to the government so that it can be converted into a museum. I don’t really know what’s special about it. It’s not that big. The stuff they have is nothing spectacular. On top of that, the tour guide talked really fast – in Finnish which I didn’t understand – and didn’t allow her audience to ask questions till the end of the tour. She was also very grumpy. Grrrrrrr!!! Well…at least we were allowed to take photos.
