  • exhibition haukivuori muistoisamme

  • In summer 2007 there was the first presentation of the history of Haukivuori in the AllaprimA MuseuM.
    In this part there will be published an overview of this history.

    This exhibition is based on the material from the book:
    PERINNE ALBUMI
    and documents and images from the local society.

    The exhibitions  give an impressions of the way individual persons have personal memories and what stories they can tell about their relation with the past.

    Invited artists in the artist-in-residence program can continue with this information.

    It will be interesting to collect all the personal stories and oral history to save these for the future as a human document of the history of a small village in the rural area of Finland.

    The historical way of building in the country site is another interesting item to investigate and archive for the future. Collecting information and images of lost buildings is one of the results of these exhibitions.

Pieniä asuinalueita on ripotel-tuna laajalle alueelle (500 km2).Saksalanharjun ja Kirkonkylän historialliset asuinalueet sijaitsevat Euroopan suurimman monoliitin päällä ja ovat tärkeä osa luonnonperintöä.
