Forest Theme Day – Fun Drama, Art and Nature Tour

Forest Theme Day — Fun Drama, Art and Nature Tour

Welcome to experience the story of the Finnish forest! 

The tiny town of Mänttä got on the world’s map over 100 years ago through the fine paper products made by Serlachius Paper Company. This journey will lead you beside these fascinating stories of the past via exhibitions, dramatized tour, nature and hands-on activity.

Serlachius Museum Gustaf is the former head office of the G. A. Serlachius Ltd. This fun and dramatized tour takes you to 1950’s. Would you be qualified to work for the paper company? A strict secretary will test your skills in paper pressing and head office’s peculiar habits.

After the drama tour, it’s time to head towards the historical forest path. You will hear about the relationship Finns have with nature, experience the forest in a Finnish way and enjoy some refreshments in a beautiful spot. Then your journey continues to the center of magnificent artworks and internationally awarded architecture of Serlachius Museum Gösta, where art and design are also inspired by the Finnish forest. Last, but definitely not least, you will taste Forest on Your Plate at Restaurant Gösta!
