Welcome to Joensuu!
Though Joensuu may not often be your actual destination, after arriving you’ll certainly find your journey was worth the trouble. A lively and developing city, it offers both its residents and guests a
wide variety of opportunities ranging from throbbing nightlife to wilderness calm. The city centre
has evolved dramatically in the past few years and
even the most demanding shoppers will find their
desires satisfied. Choose from items at the intimate Artisan’s Quarter to the spacious Iso Myy
mall and everything in between! Excitement and
expansion go beyond just business; there’s a thriving cultural and sports life as well as a broad calendar of events. And it goes on throughout the year.
There’s also more of Joensuu in 2009, added
space now that Eno and Pyhäselkä have become
part of the area. We wish you a warm welcome,
so enjoy Joensuu and its seemingly endless possibilities.

The Faces of Väinämöinen, by Timo Väänänen, one

mas Sopanen’s extensive collection of rya rugs
from the 18th century to the present day. It describes the rya as a useful textile, object of decoration and work of art.

Western science. The items in the exhibition include pictures, instruments used in space investigations, astronomical pursuits and scale models. It opens on 8.10.2009.
