The summer terrace of Finland’s longest-running inn: Fiskars Wärdshus.
account for around half of the local population and
represent a wide range of different skills.
Summer exhibitions are held in both the Copper
Smithy and the Granary. Other attractions are open
year-round, and exhibitions are also held during the
winter, but the summer events continue to draw the
biggest crowds.
The Village’s links with the world at large are
also growing. Fiskars renovated workers’ housing
at Suutarinmäki into an artists’ residence, with
accommodation for two visiting artists, craftsmen,
or designers from abroad.
Pieces shown at exhibitions locally are also
increasingly finding their way into events elsewhere,
at home and abroad, and joint exhibitions of work
by members of the local artistic community have
been held as far away as Japan and Mexico.
The Mill and the Clock Tower Building at different times of the year.
