CLOSED: North Star, Southern Cross
The permanent exhibition of the Maritime Museum on Finland will be renewed in stages. The exhibition will be temporarily closed from 3.3.2025 on. New thematic exhibitions will open in the coming years.
As an example, the extensive exhibition presents items recovered from underwater wrecks. They tell a fascinating tale of life at sea in the past − and of life in general. The magnificent 7.5-metre scale model, in turn, brings to life the passenger ship s/s Arcturus with its dramatic phases.
Finnjet − the fastest hotel on the Baltic Sea, the greyhound of the sea − is displayed in many ways. The large work of art “Suomalaisia kuvia” (Finnish images) by Kimmo Kaivanto, which used to be in the main staircase of the ship, can now be found on the wall of the boat hall. The exhibition also shows how a B-cabin might have looked like before the cleaner got to work.
From autumn 2023, a new exhibition will be built in connection with the main exhibition, and therefore part of the main exhibition has been demolished to make way for the new one. So something new is coming!
