4.5Rosenlew Museum(22 reviews) - Takes you down the memory lane Spent 1-2 hours History Museums
A fascinating place for a Finn. Exhibits familiar household items made by the Rosenlew factory, from kitchen utensils to irons (for ironing clothes); for the latter there was an impressive collection of tens of items, and it was fun to note that "hey, we used to have that at home fifty years ago." Also runs a collectin of TV and movie commercials from the sixties, nostalgic. And also shows the many ways that the factory was involved in the activities of Pori, especially sports.See more..

The Renovation Centre Toivo and Korsman House are situated in the V quarter near the centre of Pori. The Toivo house serves as the historical building restoration centre of Satakunta Museum. Korsman House has been renovated and furnished in the spirit of a typical Pori family home in 1951. The time I visited they had a special program three people talking about living in the old wooden buildings. The yard area encompasses four timber houses and an outbuilding with spaces for exhibitions, teaching and workshops. I was listening these speeches and visiting Korsman House. It was interesting to see how people has lived during the 1950’s. This is the place to visit also if you live in the old wooden house. The staff is giving hints and information and they are selling materials for restoration.See more..

5.0Emil Cedercreutzin Museo(5 reviews) - Hidden gem Art Galleries • Art Museums • History Museums
Not a well-known museum, and also a fairly unkonwn sculptor for a layman. Was very active, the museum exhibits tens of his sculptures and reliefs. The museum has several parts, and for me the most interesting was the massive collection of folklore: tens of items from almost every brand of life in days gone by, from rowing boats to household items. All very well put on display. Every hour there was also a guided tour to the artist's premises in one of the musum buildings. Enlightening and recommended. There is also a changing exhibit, this summer it was modern Japanese visual art. This is what attracted us to the museum in the first place, so the regular exhibits were an unexpected delight. This museum should make more noise about itself!See more..
