The six-part series follows the creation process of a new national treasure. The series modernises Finland's national anthem, the Lion of Finland, Finland's national costume, Koli's national heritage landscape, Aleksis Kivi's novel 'The Seven Brothers', and President Kekkonen. The creators of Finland's new national treasures are young experts of different fields. The new coat of arms will be designed by artist Jani Leinonen, non-fiction author and zoologist Riku Lumiaro, and carpenter Uolevi Nurmi. Together they will modernise the Lion of Finland. 'National Treasure' tells the story of the original national treasure and suggest an updated version of it. And of course at the end the new version of the new coat of arms is handed to the president of republic Tarja Halonen. And of course the Finnish national hockey team gets new uniforms. The programme is hosted by the well known Finnish stand-up comedian Ismo Leikola.
