The Seurasaari Foundation, founded in 1956, is a non-profit, public benefit organization that began its work by organizing Midsummer celebrations. The purpose of the foundation is to support Seurasaari Open-Air Museum activities in Seurasaari Island. The work done by the foundation is visible in events where Finnish cultural heritage and traditional way of living serve as additional inspirations. The core values of the foundation’s activities are community, inclusion and a living, Finnish cultural heritage.
