Celebrations of Oulu’s 400th birthday continue. There was an exhibition called “Aikamatka” in Ouluhalli, with set up pieces of historical Oulu and personnel in costumes. The old bus didn’t look that old, actually I think the bus I took to school until 10 years old was older than that..

They also had a large small-scale model of Oulu from 1938:

Quite a lot of hay fields around the city center.
