Serlachius Headquarters — Attraction in Upper Savonia

Museum with exhibitions on 4 floors. The building itself is built in the 1930's and is very impressive on the inside and outside.

1st floor had De Chirico and the theatre, with costumes he had designed and paintings.

2nd floor had an exhibition about the Serlachius family and about patronage in general. It also had an exhibition on the history of the area.

The 3rd floor carried on from the 2nd floor and it's themes.

Serlachius museum Gustaf in the heart of the city Mänttä. Situated by the lake Koskelanlampi.

Worth a visit any time of the year, but especially in summer. Plenty of parking...
