Learn about the life of a military hero and statesman at Mannerheim Museum, once the home of its namesake. Poised on a hill above an upscale residential neighborhood, the museum displays the artifacts of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, whose precarious childhood led to an interesting life in the military fighting for Russia and later against Russia. His education by experience is reflected in the many objects brought back from distant places as well as the broad range of subject matter represented in his library. The house is in its original state, with furniture and decor from Mannerheim's own collection, while the exhibits display medals and honors he earned. You can also view his extensive book collection and family portraits. Notice Mannerheim's uncomfortable-looking bed, where he kept strict sleeping rituals.

  Exciting and interesting details. Missing a little more nuanced tale of Mannheimer as a person and the strategic/political choices he made in his life. Good to visit if you want insight into Finland's history,

  Huset står orört sedan 1952 när Marskalken avled. En märkligt maskulin miljö. Guidningen gav en utmärkt bild av Mannerheims liv och gärning. Mycket sevärt för den historieintresserade.  more »

  The House stands untouched since 1952 when the Marshal died. A strange masculine environment. The tour gave a good picture of Mannerheim's life. Very worth seeing for the history buffs.

  The museum is situated in the house in which Mannerheim lived for many years. A guided tour is provided for every visitor in several different languages. The furniture and the objects in the house are all authentic and well preserved. The tour allows you to explore the history of Finland and to learn a lot about this amazing national leader, Mannerheim. A definitely must see!

  Located in Mannerheim's own, self-decorated home, the tour goes far beyond the Marshal's well-known exploits. Our tour guide was both informative and entertaining.
