The Åland Maritime Museum is full of priceless objects, hidden treasures and personal life stories that range from the age of sail to modern shipping.
The Åland Maritime Museum is all about experience and discovery. Best of all are the immersive environments that take you onboard and show glimpses of life at sea in all times. For example, you can hoist the sails, see what the sailor packed in the seaman's chest or enjoy the splendour of the captain's saloon on the Herzogin Cecilie.
The museum’s special exhibition “Cruise Fever” is a nostalgic family exhibition about ferry crews and leisure cruises. Experience life on board the ferries of the 1970s and 1980s, when passenger traffic in the Baltic Sea developed like never before. Step aboard the museum’s own ferry! Stand behind the counter in the duty-free shop, welcome passengers at the reception and listen to stories from the crew.
Child-friendly museum
Visiting the museum is extra fun when the whole family enjoys it. At the Maritime Museum, children and adults can discover and learn together, and even try things out in practice. Can you, for example, distribute the cargo on the freighter without it tipping over? The treasure hunt with the museum's mascot, Ruby the ship's rat, and the imaginative playroom ‘Ruby and the Sea’ are among the highlights. Don't miss the genuine pirate flag, a real treasure!
Combine your visit to the Maritime Museum with a visit on board the Pommern. The ticket includes both visits.
