My cultural experience

I went to South Karelian Museum on the 10th of February where they had two different exhibitions. The names of the exhibitions were ”Three Karelian Towns” and ”Color is Light”. I was pretty bored to go to the museum at first because I had a long school day right before it and I easily get bored when heading to a museum. I wasn't supposed to go there on friday but I had nothing better to do. The exhibit about the three towns was pretty decent. They had scale models of each town. They were Vyborg, Lappeenranta and Käkisalmi. Lappenranta had the most familiar scale model and I was able to point out some locations from the model. Vyborg was kinda similiar to Lappeenranta in the early 20th century. I didn't have much time to check the scale model about Käkisalmi.

The other exhibit about the pictures was very nice. They had these early black and white pics that were colored with some kind of early coloring method. The pictures showed how different Finland was in the 20th century. People used to wear pretty colorful clothes back then too. The old lady at the counter was kind enough to tell me and my dad about the pictures. They were taken by Sergei Produkin-Gorski.

In my opinion the two exhibitions were quite different from each other. The three towns were all good but not that spectacular. The color pics were nice because the pictures showed me how much different the houses and people's use of color was back then. I would recommend people to atleast check out the pics because they were good.
