Lotta Museum: A Tribute to Women's Valor

The Lotta Museum, opened in 1996, celebrates the legacy of the Lotta Svärd organization, which was established in 1921 following Finland's independence.

This museum, maintained by the Lotta Svärd Foundation, features exhibits that highlight the volunteer work of women during pivotal moments in Finnish history, particularly World War II. The architecture of the blue Tuusulanjärvi building adds to its significance by commemorating the contributions of the Lotta women who served unarmed as part of one of the world's largest auxiliary forces.
