The downstairs of the house is the presentation of the history of the house and how the wealthy family used to live. The rooms are well presented and there are good explanations of each room. There are also some photo board displays of old buildings in Uusikaupunki which were demolished and replaced with ugly modern blocks, well worth a look! Upstairs is dedicated to the maritime history of Uusikaupunki with lots of photos, exhibits, pictures of ships and other such usual things. The inside yard contains some outbuildings, including a shoe maker's workshop. The yard is a nice place to sit and have a coffee or picnic. I'd highly recommend a visit to this museum!

4.5 based on 299 reviews
Luostarinmäki is the only continuous district of wooden houses that survived the fire of 1827 in Turku. These houses are over 200 years old and still standing in their original building sites. The houses have been furnished as craftsmen’s homes and workshops, representing over 30 different trades. The museum tells the story of pre-industrial urban craftsmanship. In the summertime craftsmen come to work in the workshops. The museum is open during summer from May to August, and for the Christmas Season in December.

A house full of music! The Sibelius museum is the most comprehensive museum of music in Finland. Our goal is to bring to life the history of Finnish music from the 18th century to the present day, and let all genres of music flourish within our walls. A selection taken from the museums 2000 instruments of traditional and art music from all around the globe is exhibited. One exhibition is naturally reserved for Sibelius's life and work. Our concert series, Sibbe Live!, offers live music of different genres on Wednesday evenings, during the fall and spring seasons. Apart from it’s collection on Jean Sibelius, the archive of the Sibelius Museum owns a large collection of different material connected to music, e.g. sheet music, photos and sound recordings. The museum building, designed by Woldemar Baeckman in 1968, is one of the most original Finnish creations of the 1960s.

Really interesting museum, I can recommend it for everyone who are interested in music and Jean Sibelius. During fall and spring they even organise live concerts! And the exhibition 2020 about architect Erik Adlercreutz was really nice!

I had lunch at the cafe indoors (smoked Reindeer quiche and fresh cherry juice), a visit to museum, the cake outside afterwards at the cafe again. A delightful spot to relax with friendly staff at both. The House and Pharmacy museum has a small brochure but take the book offered as it has quite a lot of information about the furnishings. I went around and asked questions if the guide but then flicked through the book at reception and revisited the rooms. The hair pictures by the daughter in the bedroom are fascinating and the special chair for ladies to sit with the bustles on their long dresses is interesting. The pharmacy section interesting too with the types of ingredients used and drying room for herbs and plants. Half price for retirees too at 3 euro so if you are retired, don't buy the museum card as cheaper to buy individually.
