Lusto collections online
Lusto’s collections can be explored in the Kantapuu Finna service as well as on site in our exhibitions or by agreement in the collection rooms.
Kantapuu Finna
The Kantapuu Finna database contains an extensive collection of photographs and pictures of artefacts related to Finnish forest culture as well as related information from Lusto’s collections. The database also features other cultural history material from the collections of seven other museums. You can use the Kantapuu service to order a copy of a picture of an archive item or an object, while you can also use it to provide additional information about an image or object to the museum that holds it.
Image orders
Lusto’s photo and video archive of forest history – the largest of its kind in Finland – sheds light on Finnish forest culture and is a source material for research, publications and exhibitions. You can place orders for materials through Finna’s image service (from spring 2021), by phone or by email. Customers can use the low-resolution images in Finna in accordance with the terms of the licence. The collections that have not been digitised can be explored on site at Lusto by appointment.
Printable copies of the some of the collection items, subject to possible restrictions of use, can be ordered for an image-specific fee.
