Lahti, Åland Islands
Museums
I'm sorry, but there seems to be a mistake in your request. Lahti is located in the mainland of Finland and is not a part of Åland Islands. However, if you are in Lahti, I would suggest visiting the Lahti Art Museum, which has a collection of Finnish modern art. For similar types of museums near Lahti, you can also check out the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki or the Serlachius Museum in Mänttä.
