About the museum
The Honkakylä shop museum is housed in the original shop building in Saari, Parikkala. The museum was chosen as the South Karelia Local Heritage Museum of the Year in 2001, and it is the only shop museum in South Karelia.
The museum mainly displays goods from the 1940s and 1950s, ranging from clothing to foodstuffs. In the shop, visitors can experience the atmosphere of the post-war reconstruction and the years of shortage (pula). The most recent addition to the collection is an exhibition of old skis in the shop’s storerooms: a selection from different decades, ranging from wooden skis to early fibreglass skis.
