The K\u00e4kisalmi Museum's summer exhibition, \"Aisti ja maista pula-aika\" (Sense and Taste the Era of Scarcity), takes visitors on a time travel journey to the era of scarcity and traditional Karelian food. In the recipes from the era of scarcity, simple ingredients are transformed into nourishing everyday treats that speak of survival, resourcefulness, and a strong culinary tradition. The exhibition opened to the public on 1 June and is on display until 31 August 2025. Operating behind the scenes of the exhibition in the summer is the museum's evacuee kitchen, which brings history to life through tasting.
