A unique cultural destination at the eastern tip of the first island of the archipelago ring road, rich in cultural history and natural values. A spacious, quiet, almost 300-year-old log manor, changing contemporary art, ancient, mighty gnarled trees, the expression of contemporary sculptors and life chirping in the summer light are offered as equals, encouraging wonder, and internationally interesting. The public art collection of the Wood Sculpture Garden lives in time, growing again during the Puusisto2025 event.
/ En unik kulturdestination i ett område rikt på kulturhistoria och naturvärden på skärgårdens första ö. En rymlig, tyst timmerherrgård, föränderlig samtidskonst, uråldriga mäktiga träd, uttrycket av samtida snidare och ett liv som glittrar i sommarljuset erbjuds som jämlikar, uppmuntrande förundran och intressant internationellt. Den offentliga konstsamlingen i Träskulpturträdgården lever i tiden, kommer att växa igen under Puusisto2025 evenemanget.
We give space, time, to be human, to reflect on values. The only time to make a better future is right now.
