The Salpa Line Museum (in Finnish: Salpalinja-museo]] in Russian: Музей линии "Салпа") is established and opened in 1987 by the Miehikkälä municipality and the second world war veteran organisations.
The Salpa Line Museum is the core of the Salpa Centre. It is both the tourist informatio centre of the Salpa Line Museum, the Engineer Museum and the Bunker Museum and the Salpa Line Museum centre itself.
The museal area was build as a defence line and the defence centre of a one infantry company in 1940-1944. It was never used for the defence as the front line never reached the area due to the truce of 5th September, 1944 and the Moscow Armistice of 19th September, 1944.
Exhibits
Due to the nature of the museum most of the collections are outside in the woods. There are some of the bunkers left. Outside the museum centre building there are anti-tank guns.
