The Carpenter Museum is the only museum in Finland, which specializes in cabinetmaker industry. The museum is located in South Ostrobothnia, in Jurva, Kurikka.

The Jurva Carpenter Museum is maintained by Puuseppämuseoyhdistys r.y. (the Carpenter Museum Association), which was established in 1983. Its purpose is to collect and store the tradition of carpentry, to organize exhibitions, to display the carpenter craft for the audience as well as to offer incentives for the development of cabinetmaker industry. The association deployed the desolated workshop and residential building of Parkkamäki owned by the municipality, and the Carpenter Museum was opened there in 1990.
The museum is open during the summer and at other times upon request. In addition to the basic exhibition the museum organizes a small special exhibition on some theme connected to the branch every year.
