The Virtasalmi Museum is located in downtown Virtasalmi in the parish hall
across from the church. The ruddled building was completed in 1914. The museum
is owned by the city of Pieksämäki. Virtasalmen käsityöläiset ry, which has
its own shop in the same building, is responsible for its opening hours.
The museum has material on the livelihoods of Virtasalmi's residents and the
town’s municipal life; for example, the school exhibition is diverse and
illustrative.
The museum grounds are also home to the Virtasalmi Heritage Park, which has
miniature versions of 5 sets of buildings from Virtasalmi that have been
destroyed in part or in full. The park also has traditional garden plants.
