Land Surveying and Mapping in Finland – Central Finland on the Map
13.12.2025-10.5.2026
The exhibition “Land Surveying and Mapping in Finland – Central Finland on the Map” presents the 390-year history of land surveying and mapping in Finland. This story began in 1633, when the first surveyor was sent from Sweden to Finland. Over time, the number of surveyors grew, and by the end of the 17th century, almost the entire country had been mapped. The mapping process helped settle land disputes and reduced the violence associated with them. The exhibition is based on the Land Survey of Finland’s national exhibition “Land Surveying and Mapping in Finland since 1633”. The exhibition also presents UNESCO World Heritage Site the Struve Arc as well as other historical maps specific to Central Finland.
