Finnish Heritage Agency
Agency to preserve Finland's material cultural heritage
- Tiina Merisalo, Director-general
The Finnish Heritage Agency (Finnish: Museovirasto, Swedish: Museiverket), previously known in English as the National Board of Antiquities, preserves Finland's material cultural heritage: collects, studies and distributes knowledge of it. The agency is a cultural and research institution, but it is also a government authority charged with the protection of archaeological sites, built heritage, cultural-historically valuable environments and cultural property, in collaboration with other officials and museums.[1][2][3][4][5]
The Agency offers a wide range and diversified range of services, a professional staff of specialists, the exhibitions and collections of its several museums, extensive archives, and a specialized scientific library, all of which are at the disposal of the general public.[1]
The Finnish Heritage Agency is attached to the Ministry of Education.[6]
