Seurasaari (Swedish:Fölisön) is an island and a district inHelsinki, Finland, known mostly as the location of the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, which consists of old, mainly wooden buildings transplanted from elsewhere in Finland and placed in the dense forest landscape of the island.

Every summer, many Helsinkians come to Seurasaari to enjoy the rural, peaceful outdoor atmosphere. Despite the visitors, the island has a variety of wildlife, especially birds, but alsored squirrels andhares. The height of the island's popularity is atMidsummer, when a huge bonfire (Finnish:juhannuskokko,Swedish:midsommareld) is built on a small isle just off the island's coast, and ignited by a newlywed couple. Thousands of people, both tourists and Helsinkians, watch the burning of the bonfire from both Seurasaari itself and from boats anchored near it.

Seurasaari also includes one of only twonudist beaches in Helsinki and one of only three in the entire country. Unlike the other nudist beaches, the beach is segregated for men and women separately with no unisex nudist area and is subject to a fee.^[2]

In October 2024, it was announced that the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum would be closed due to budget cuts byPetteri Orpo's government affecting theFinnish Heritage Agency.^[3]
