Museums on Åland

Fine arts and history on one ticket

Get an inspiring dose of fine arts and local cultural history by visiting the Åland Art Museum and the Åland Museum of Cultural History in Mariehamn, where these two museums share the same building.

A tour through Åland’s history begins at the Cultural History Museum of Åland, which presents the archipelago’s 7,500-year history in its permanent exhibition. The Museum guides you through a chronological story from the time of the first arrivals to today’s global and self-governing society. Along the way, you will learn that the tenacious islanders have hunted seals, subsisted on agriculture and fishing, sailed the world’s seas and been a part of Sweden, Russia and now Finland. The museum also introduces Kastelholm Castle, Eckerö Post and Customs House and Bomarsund Fortress, and ties historical clues together into a single story.

The Cultural History Museum also presents several themed exhibitions. This summer, you can explore stamps that carry stories about Åland.

Contemprary art

The Åland Island Art Museum presents Åland art from a broad perspective, from paintings and sculptures to installations. The exhibitions of the art museum’s collection vary throughout the year with themes that are often surprising in both breadth and unexpected combinations. In addition, the museum hosts special exhibitions that continuously offer visitors new art impressions and influences.

This summer, the Art Museum presents a vibrant and captivating exhibition with works by HC Berg and Satu Kiljunen. The two artists challenge your senses and entice with the intricacies between the two- and three-dimensional expressions. In the autumn, there will be an exhibition by origami artist Juho Könkkölä from Finland.
