Stepping Into The Runeberg Home

The Runeberg Home, once the residence of Finland's national poet J.L. Runeberg, offers a glimpse into the life and times of a literary giant. Located in Porvoo, this museum features a remarkable collection of personal artifacts and period furnishings.

Founded as a museum after Runeberg's death in 1877 by his family, it provides insight into Finnish culture and history. The architecture reflects 19th-century styles, while the exhibits include stuffed foxes and muskets, illustrating the poet's affinity for hunting. Across the street, visitors can explore the Walter Runeberg Sculpture Collection, housing 150 sculptures created by Walter, Runeberg's son.
