Welcome to the opening of the Border Museum’s summer season on Saturday 30 May from 10am to 3pm.
The Border Museum opens its doors again for visitors in the summer. We begin the season with open house, where you have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the museum’s main exhibition Guardians of Finland – The Border Guard in the heart of border security then and now, which we have updated for this season. A visit to the museum offers now even more experiences than before.
To acknowledge the 100th jubilee of the Border Guard education, the Border and Coast Guard Academy also participates in the opening day. This day offers an excellent chance to familiarise oneself with the Border Guard’s special border jaeger training, as well as the border and coast guard training. Instructors from the Special Border Jaeger Company and the Border and Coast Guard Academy will present their operations. Moreover, also border guard students are present in the day to tell about their training and to share their own experiences.
The opening day offers a chance to admire the Border Guard’s newest vehicles and equipment, as well as historical equipment from different decades.
Furthermore, Immola Border Guard canteen is also open. In addition to traditional doughnuts, they have all kinds of sweet and savoury treats in their assortment.
