SKÄREN

Skären - a Museum on the Net has been created as a result of close co-operation between five associations for local history, a cultural organization and a media production company. The aim of Skären is to shed light on life in the archipelago - the history and the culture - by creating an entirely new museum which exists solely on the internet. The surroundings, the artefacts and the archive material of the three contributing associations have been used by the creators of Skären to put together the narrative, the story of the fictitious Sjöberg family living in the Ostrobothnian archipelago in the beginning of the 20th century. Visitors to Skären are able to accompany the family members going about their everyday business - on the farm, at school as well as out on long and treacherous sealing expeditions.
