Visit the Kellokoski Hospital museum to learn about the hospital's history
In the museum, you can explore the history of Kellokoski Hospital and the unique coexistence of the hospital and the surrounding village community. In addition, the exhibition focuses on the treatment forms used in psychiatric care at different times, the operation of the hospital during the war years, and the stories of the hospital’s patients and staff.
The HUS Museum Committee redesigned the permanent exhibition of the Hospital Museum in cooperation with the Tuusula Museum in spring 2019. The museum is owned by HUS and the Tuusula Museum acts as a partner in keeping the museum open for visitors. The hospital museum displays the hospital’s old artefacts, such as lobotomy instruments and equipment used in shock treatments, as well as items and artwork made by the patients in occupational therapy.
