Finnish Heritage Agency
The Finnish Heritage Agency (Finnish: Museovirasto, Swedish: Museiverket) 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.
