About the museum
The town of Naantali was founded in 1443 to serve the Bridgettine monastery built there. The Naantali museum tells of this history and of life in a small town, through its sights, its collections and its mobile guides. The museum was founded in 1919.
The museum office, the Säsonki museum shop and the permanent exhibitions are in the Humppi house at Mannerheiminkatu 21. The archaeology exhibition tells of Naantali’s earliest history through excavation finds, and scale models show life in a 16th-century Naantali house and in the monastery. The Hiilola house has been furnished as a late 19th-century middle-class home, and a small exhibition there tells of Naantali’s old spa. The Sau-Kallio house at the end of the garden presents the more modest life of a craftsman’s family.
The exhibitions are bilingual or trilingual, in Finnish and Swedish, and the most recent ones also have English text. The museum has published four mobile guided routes, which can be used free of charge in a browser or via QR code.
