Museo Lusto

The museum Lusto is the largest forest in the world, and is located relatively close Punkaharju Art Museum Retretti. I had the pleasure of visiting this museum twice, once in the summer with a scholarship from the official language school to learn Finnish and a winter with Mikkeli University, foresters took us to see this museum. The Museum has a circular structure resembling the trunk of a tree, hence the name Lusto is the Finnish word to describe an annual ring in a tree. The museum has many machines, ancient and modern, and seeks to explain the evolution of forest culture in this country, Finland, with a forest industry so powerful.
