The Craft Museum is a Place, where I visit again and again. The exhibitions are interesting and variable, but every time you can see something skillfully made handicrafts. Also the basic exhibition is wide and interesting. And everyone should see the finnish national costumes. I have visited the museum twice with my grandson (5years).He was very amused to look around. I did tell him what he wanted - and he wanted. And at the end of our visit, in the workshop room, he wanted to make himself a keyring. Our visit took two hours.
