Åland Museum & Åland Art Museum
Ålands museum
A cultural history and art museum in central Mariehamn, covering the story from the Stone Age to Åland’s self-governing history. It is ideal for understanding the island’s background.
The Åland Museum and the Åland Art Museum share one building, which reopened in 2016. The history section traces the story from Stone Age seal hunters and the Viking Age through Swedish and Russian rule, to Åland’s autonomy and demilitarization, combining exhibits with multimedia displays. The art museum holds works by Åland and Nordic artists and hosts regular special exhibitions. It is located on Storgatan near East Harbour and is a good choice on rainy days. It is generally closed on Mondays.
