Önningeby Museum
Önningebymuseet
An artists’ village where Finnish painters gathered in the late nineteenth century. The museum displays paintings of Åland’s scenery created at that time.
From 1886 to 1914, Finnish painters including Victor Westerholm gathered every summer in the village of Önningeby in Jomala to paint, forming a well-known artists’ colony. The village museum displays oil paintings, sketches and materials about the painters’ lives from that period, along with an exhibition on farm tools and rural life. It is small and open in summer, about 12 km from Mariehamn, and suits art lovers who want to stop by on the way.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 10:00–16:00
