Step back in time: Experience a 1700s Christmas at Porvoo Museum

This holiday season, Porvoo Museum's Holm House invites visitors to discover the festive traditions of an 18th-century burgher family. The museum's Christmas exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the differences between Christmas celebrations in the 1700s and modern-day customs.

While familiar Finnish Christmas traditions like the Christmas tree and Santa Claus are notably absent, visitors will be introduced to the centerpiece of 18th-century festivities: the lavish dinner table.
