  It costs 8 euros for an adult to go into here. Then you should see åland art collection and a temporary, this time Tage Wilén. Larger and more interesting in my opinion is the culture-historical museum with many interesting items that makes you understand the history of Åland. Very educational propounded also! Texts are available in Swedish, Finnish and English.

  Interesting place, nice exhibits. A little dark inside so can be hard to read some of the text. Came here alone and it took nearly two hours to see everything.
