Design Museum Nuutajärvi
Are you interested in glass, do you know its techniques? Nuutajärvi, Finland’s oldest glassworks, was founded in 1793 in the present municipality of Urjala in the region of Häme. Skilled glassmakers came to Nuutajärvi from abroad, bringing with them skills such as the filigree technique. Leading Finnish designers of the post-war years at Nuutajärvi, such as Kaj Franck and Oiva Toikka helped make the glassworks widely known. The Nuutajärvi Glass Museum displays the fascinating history of glassmaking, which now continues at Nuutajärvi in the studios of both young and experienced glass designers.
