The Ski Museum is at the foot of the ski-jump ramps at the Lahti Sports Centre. Museum activities were launched in 1958 by the veterans' section of the Lahden Hiihtoseura skiing club. The museum was founded in 1974 and the first permanent exhibition was opened in the old sauna of the club. The present museum building, designed by the architect Esko Hämäläinen, was opened to the public on 1 November 1989. The present renovated façade of the building, combining slanting walls, wood and glass, was designed by Professor Pekka Salminen and was completed in 2000.
