Laila Pullinen Sculpture Park & Home Museum is an art-museum complex in the Nissbacka Manor area, built around the life's work of sculptor Laila Pullinen. The core of the visit is the outdoor sculpture park, where bronze, copper, and stone sculptures form part of the old manor landscape. The admission ticket covers the sculpture park, the permanent collection in the Granary, the changing exhibition in the Atelier Gallery, and Laila Pullinen's artist home. The home museum includes personal objects, the family art collection, and paintings by Pullinen's mother, Tyyni Pullinen. For families, this works as a calm art-and-outdoor outing. It is best for children who can move outdoors, look at sculptures, and walk carefully through old indoor spaces with an adult.

- Accessibility
- The museum yard has no visitor parking except for 2 accessible parking spaces in front of the Atelier Gallery. The museum asks visitors with reduced mobility to contact them in advance. The museum area is partly inaccessible. It is possible to move along a flat gravel road, and the sculpture park is mostly lawn, but the home museum and Atelier Gallery have a few steps. The visitor toilet is in the home museum and is not accessible. Strollers can be used outdoors in the sculpture park, but they cannot be taken through the indoor spaces.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- This is a calm museum garden rather than a playground, so with children it is worth agreeing in advance that artworks and old indoor spaces need careful movement. The admission ticket includes a Finnish public guided tour on each exhibition day at 14:00, and no advance booking is needed for that tour. Cafe Anja & Annikki and the museum shop operate in the museum area during museum opening hours. A normal museum visit should be kept separate from performances, private guided tours, and group bookings.
- Opening-hours notes
- The museum is open 4.6.-30.8.2026. Opening hours are Thu-Sun 11:00-17:00 and Mon-Wed closed. As exceptions, the museum is closed 19.6.2026 and 20.6.2026.
- Booking notes
- A normal museum visit does not require booking. Tickets can be bought online in advance and on site from the Granary ticket desk or the home museum shop. The 14:00 public guided tour is included in the ticket and does not require booking. Groups and private visits are booked separately.
- Price notes
- Admission costs EUR 16 for adults, EUR 14 for seniors, EUR 12 for students and unemployed visitors, EUR 5 for children aged 7-16, and is free for children under 7. The Museum Card is accepted.
- Age notes
- The recommended age of 7-14 reflects the site's calm art, history, and outdoor character. Younger children may enjoy the outdoor sculpture park, but indoor spaces and looking at artworks require close adult support.
- Seasonal notes
- This is a summer-season museum. The sculpture park is outdoors and changes with weather, light, and vegetation; indoor exhibitions complete the visit, but outside the season there is no normal museum visit.
- Weather notes
- Best in dry and mild weather because the sculpture park, paths, and part of the guided visit are outdoors. In rain or strong wind, the outdoor portion may feel shorter, even though indoor spaces offer breaks.
