In the Shadows of Eagles – Finland in 1812
The document exhibition showcases the year 1812, which was in many ways a significant year in Finnish history. Emperor Alexander I of Russia and Crown Prince Carl Johan of Sweden met in Turku in the August of 1812 and sealed Finland's position as a Grand Duchy of Russia. In the same year, Helsinki became the capital of Finland, Old Finland was connected to the rest of Finland and the national armed forces were re-established.
