Man and idea. A short history of the Baron Emil Cedercreutz' Museum

The museum of Emil Cedercreutz in Harjavalta, Satakunta, represents the life's work of Baron Emil Cedercreutz (1879-1949). Emil Cedercreutz was a sculptor by profession, but he is also known as a silhouette artist, antiquarian, and writer. Cedercreutz 's reputation as an antiquarian in his own time is based on the museum called the Temple of the Rural Spirit, which he founded. It forms one part of the present Emil Cedercreutz Museum, which also comprises Cedercreutz 's home, Harjula, and an art museum.
