This museum area is located in Kaunisnurmi, near the city center. The old wooden buildings are a reminder of Kouvola's railroad history. The area was inhabited mainly by the engine drivers. Most of the buildings were built in the early 20th century. The beautifully restored buildings serve as workshops for artisans and artists and as boutique shops. You can find also a cafe, called Onnenkukko. Poikilo Museums and Radio Museum are located in the same quarter. Both museums are very interesting and worth a visit.

The Poikilo Museums comprise the Kouvola Art Museum and the Kouvola City Museum in the Kouvola House. The exhibitions are changing. It is an interesting combination of art and history. The Art Museum focuses on contemporary Finnish art. On our visit, there was an exhibition called 'On behalf of nature'. It consisted of works from the Heino Art Foundation collection which is one of Finland’s foremost collections of contemporary art. The City Museum shows exhibitions related to the history of Kouvola.
