The Vyborg Museum - How the War Affected the Museum and its ObjectsThe Vyborg Museum was founded in 1893 and opened to the public in 1895. Over 50 years later the museum found itself facing a new situation. On November 31, 1939 the Soviet Union started a war against Finland. The Vyborg Museum only managed to evacuate one fifth of the museum objects to Rauralampi and Hameenlinna before the war broke our. The museum board made a list of the most valuable objects to be sent away most urgently.
