A development project for the museum activities and cooperation of the local
museums in Southern Savo, which was partially funded by the EU, took place at
the Savonlinna Provincial Museum from 2006–2007. Funding was provided by the
Regional Council of Southern Savo. The objective of the project was to create
a development strategy and programme for the local museums in Southern Savo,
to promote local and regional cooperation between museums, to boost the use of
local museums in tourism, etc., and to improve the accessibility of cultural
heritage in museums.
One of the results of the local museum project was a website for the
museums that aimed to increase their notability and awareness, to enhance
their marketing and to present the cultural heritage they preserve. The
website of museums in Southern Savo on the Internet is split into two parts:
presentations of the museums and the Elements of Southern Savo exhibition.

Southern Savo has 17 municipalities, which have a total of 43 local museums,
attractions and exhibitions.
There are four professionally run museums; the rest are run by
non-professionals or are run by the towns in conjunction with their other
cultural activities.

The ancient Greeks believed that the cosmos consisted of four elements: fire,
earth, air, and water. The idea of four or more elements was also known in
other cultures, such as India and China, as well. What would Southern Savo
look like if we assumed it consisted of these four classical elements? Visit
our local museums to find out!
