What makes Espoo a little different as a city? The guided tour includes highlights of the Espoo area’s history from the Stone Age to the present day at the exhibition A Thousand Stories about Espoo.

This guided tour explores old Christmas traditions, their background and origin. Guided tours are organised while Glims is decorated for Christmas, from the First Advent Sunday to 13 January.

What makes a good place to live? In the workshop, the pupils/students familiarise themselves with city planning and create new suburbs in Espoo.

Glims has been in the same place for hundreds of years. It has been the home and workplace of thousands of people and domestic animals. More recently, Glims has been a museum for over 60 years. The guided tour will show the history of Glims and of Espoo as a whole.

“I’m not building for ourselves, but for the next 500 years,” said Akseli Gallen-Kallela to his daughter Kirsti while building the studio castle of Tarvaspää.
