The purpose of the museum is to represent the history of the indigenous people of the Karelian Isthmus. The museum is located on the scenery site between Dolgoe (Long) and Krasavitsa (Beauty) Lakes, 12 km far from Zelenogorsk.

The museuHistoric and Ethnographic Reserve Museum Yalkalam exhibit features traditional artifacts, interiors and facilities of a Finnish farm of the first half of the 20th century supplemented with the documented history of the Karelian Isthmus. Another display tells the story of Lenin's stay with the family of his bodyguard's wife when he was hiding from the secret police. Materials connected with another revolutionary Georgy Plekhanov and famous artist Aleksandr Benois are also presented here.
