The forest in miniature – Scale models of forestry from Lusto’s collections

The exhibition features over ten scale models from Lusto’s museum collections. Originally created for the museum’s previous permanent exhibition, these models illustrate the development of forest management from the early 20th century to the 21st century. They showcase the significant transformation of forest work, mechanisation, and unique experiments of the 1950s, such as a drag-line cable method. The exhibition also includes scale models demonstrating forestry practices in different seasons. The models were created by Malliakopio LP, a company from Mikkeli specialising in scale models.
