The museums

Museikortet

The museums in Åland have many interesting stories to tell. The exhibitions have everything from hunting, fishing and the dramatic postal route across the sea, to archipelago culture, fire engines and art history.

Most of the larger museums in Åland are open all year round whereas the smaller museums are closed in the winter. However, most can still be visited during the low season by prior arrangement.

Four experiences with the museum card
With the museum card it is easy to discover the museums in Åland. The museum card costs 9 euros and includes four museum visits of your choice. You can buy a museum card at most museums, in hotels in Mariehamn or from the Åland Tourism Board at Storagatan 8, phone: +358 18 2400.

Feel the atmosphere walking on a half-deck with the wind in your back during a westerly half-gale. The figureheads from past time ships all have a different story to tell. Shipwreck, storms or an inglorious rejection end. Here are ship paintings from a time when the ships looked like ships and every captain ordered a portrait from the local artist, be it in Hull, Antwerp or Hong Kong. One of the most skilful model builders has built most models in our museum.
