Deciphering Roof Trusses – Exploring Medieval Wooden Structures
Lusto - The Finnish Forest Museum, Savonlinna
- 28.4.2022–2.10.2022
The exhibition presents the world of roof trusses hidden beneath medieval shingle roofs, as well as the work of the research team exploring them.
The exhibition includes texts and illustrations, scale model as well as material and film showing the everyday life of the field work.
The wooden building heritage preserved from the Middle Ages in Finland is hidden within the roof structures of less than twenty stone churches. This unique source material, tells about medieval wooden constructions and is part of our nation’s medieval built cultural heritage. For example, from the roof structures of the churches we can get an understanding of how they were built, how the church building sites operated, and how the local community participated in the construction.
