The Kuopio Museum is an Art Nouveau -style museum building completed in 1907 on Snellman Park in Kuopio , on the edge of the former Kustaantori . The Kuopio Museum is the third oldest museum building in Finland after the Helsinki Ateneum (1887) and the Turku Art Museum (1904). It has national romantic features and has been inspired by Finnish castles such as Olavinlinna and Vyborg Castle . The architect was JV Strömberg, who designed a significant part of Kuopio’s public buildings at the turn of the 20th century . The building was handed over for use on July 2, 1907.

The Kuopio Museum houses the Exhibition Facilities of the Kuopio Museum of Natural History and the Kuopio Museum of Cultural History. The building also housed the city library , until a new library building was built on the adjacent site in 1967 after a long turn . The Museum of Cultural History and the Museum of Natural History act as regional museums of responsibility .
