Other museum collections

Most of the museum’s collection is on display in Halosenniemi, Aleksis Kivi’s death cottage and the Klaavola house. The artefacts in these museums tell the story of the artist community and the lives of rural craftsmen and farmers. Some artefacts relating to the history of Tuusula are stored in the collection rooms.

The collection of artefacts is expanded with great care, and acquisitions focus on material related to Tuusula and its residents. Of particular interest are artefacts and products manufactured in Tuusula. 

The museum’s archive collections include archival material related to the Tuusula artist community. The most extensive collection is that of Pekka Halonen. It includes correspondence between Pekka Halonen and his artist friends, as well as members of Halonen’s family.

The archive also contains material related to the operations and employees of the Klaavola farm, Kellokosken Tehdas Oy, Jokela industrial plants and Amer-Tupakka Oy, as well as oral history material collected from various parts of the municipality.
