Axel Olai Heikel (April 28, 1851 – September 6, 1924) was a Finnish ethnographer and archaeologist, and cousin of Viktor, Felix, Anna, and Ivar Heikel. He is one of the founders of ethnology in Finland.[1]

Biography

Heikel was born on April 28, 1851, in Brändö, Åland, Finland, to vicar Carl Henrik and Emma Fredrika Heikel née Wallin.[1]

He received his master's degree in 1880 from the Imperial Alexander University (today the University of Helsinki).[2] From 1889 to 1892, Heikel was an associate professor of Finnish ethnography in Helsinki; in 1893 he became curator of the Archaeological Commission and in 1917 of the Ethnographic Museum of Seurasaari, which was his creation. He was awarded the honorary title of professor (Шаблон:Ill) in 1920.[3]

Heikel studied Estonian, Volga Finn, and Finnish architecture.[1] Between 1883 and 1886 and 1889 and 1893 he undertook extensive ethnographic and archaeological research trips to Finno-Ugric tribes, including the Mari, Mordvin and Udmurt people, in Russia.[2] He also made trips to Mongolia, Siberia, and Karelia.[2] In 1893, Heikel became the first to discover traces of the Andronovo culture near Yalutorovsk.Шаблон:Sfn His doctoral thesis from these trips received a mixed reaction in Finland but was widely read in Germany and Russia. Heikel was inspired by Finnish archaeologist J. R. Aspelin.

He founded the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum in Helsinki, Finland, which he "considered his second home", after being inspired by Swedish folklorist Arthur Hazelius' open-air museum Skansen in Stockholm.[1] His goal was to create a "miniature Finland" featuring buildings moved there representing different parts of the country.[4] He became the museum's curator in 1917.[5]

Heikel died on September 6, 1924, in Helsinki, Finland, after a long illness.[5] He was buried at the Шаблон:Interlanguage link on the museum grounds.[6]

Heikel was one of the University of Helsinki Faculty of Arts' 375 Humanists on March 14, 2015.[3]

Family

Heikel married Maria Castrén in 1890.[1] They had five children: Aili Martta Oilokai Heikel, Elsa Arna Jyrhämä, Maija Kaarina Bärlund-Karma, Kerttu Annikki Heikel, and Siiri Kyllikki Nordlund.
