TIPS
Sea Monsters
Have you met the slobbish sea sausage and the misunderstood Kraken? In the new exhibition Sea Monsters at the Maritime Museum you get to explore a time long lost, when the earth was flat and the oceans were teeming with monsters. The Maritime Museum is open 7 days a week. Welcome!
THE PONAPE SAIL SHIP – A DREAM OF THE OCEAN
In a private home in Mariehamn one can find one of the world’s finest and most detailed ship models. It was built by an Åland sailor in a POW camp during World War II with neither drawings nor tools at hand. How did he do it? Who was he? Watch the moving documentary “Dreaming of Ponape – a man and his model”

The best things about the Maritime Museum
Linnea (7) and Julia (9) have visited the Maritime Museum many times, both with their family and with nursery and school. Both of them have also hosted their birthday parties at the museum. We asked the girls what they like best about the Maritime Museum and what their top tips are. 1# – The play room is the best! 2# – Steer the ship 3# – To search for rat holes 4# – To look at the piranhas and turtle
SHOP
The museum shop is always open when the museum is open. It’s located in the entry hall so you don’t need to a ticket to shop with us!
The selection in the museum shop is inspired by our exhibitions and by all things maritime. We have a wide selection of local seafaring literature but also children’s books with maritime themes.
We have Åland souvenirs, handicraft by local talents and unique Pommern products. Pop around to the museum shop next time you are looking for that special gift.
The museum shop offers also coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks such as ice cream and chocolate.
