An image of a sailing ship, a four-masted steel barque, is seen from the side. It has all sails hoisted and has a black painted hull. In the background you can see the sea and slightly cloudy sky. The image has a dark blue filter and no other colors. The image is cropped to fit a perfect circle. The text "Pommern" is in a neat font in white diagonally across the image, with the lower part on the left sloping downwards. The ship is also left-heavy.

Latest news

An old map, several old log books with handwritten notes and a stack of labeled document folders – perhaps part of a program for the family – are arranged on a wooden surface.

A group of women, most of them blonde, some gray-haired or rye-blonde, stand in a place in the museum building representing an imitation of a poop deck on a boat. Along the walls hang banners with black and white photographs of sailors and three windows at the back of the room, where you see daylight and greenery. On the poop deck are rudders and a glazed, stuffed albatross is on the console where the rudder is attached. A railing runs at the front of the picture.

Worldclass ship's models

The Åland Maritime Museum has an impressive collection of ship’s models, mostly sailing ships. Some were made on board ship by sailors in their spare time; others were made by professional model makers. Common to all of them is that they are very high standard and show evidence of skill, knowledge and patience.

EXHIBITIONS

The most kid-friendly museum on Åland

At the Åland Maritime Museum there are a lot of things for families to discover and do. Go aloft, stow cargo and take command of your own ship. Finding the ship’s rat Ruby’s own mini exhibitions, cleverly hidden in cute little ratholes in the museum, is a task that everybody can get involved in. And don’t miss our imaginative children’s room Ruby and the Sea. Here you can dive into the sea and discover wrecks, secret mermaid grottos and exciting sea creatures.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

”

A truly wonderful museum! This place is a true gem! If you are remotely interested in ships and life on ships, or just the history of the Aland Islands, this is well worth the time. As a great bonus, they have managed to make a museum that is great fun for kids as well - quite an accomplishment!
