In this museum, you can really feel the life of the old times. The preserved yard and its buildings tell, how it was in the Old Rauma area a couple of hundred years ago. The previous owners were mainly sailors and craftsmen. The oldest parts of the house date back to the 18th century. The interiors display living at different times. On our visit, there was an eager guide to tell interesting stories about the place. This museum is open only in summer.See more..

5.0Pahkaparatiisi(1 review) - One of the most unique sights in Europe Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
The Finnish word pahka means a burl, a gnarl or a burr. So Pahkaparatiisi means Burl Paradise. It is maintained by an oldish couple. The husband has been a forester. He has collected the huge collection of burls and other wooden wonders. There are about 4,500 burls in the collection. You can see many different figures in them. Just use your imagination! The collection is situated in three buildings. One of them is the childhood home of the collector. In the middle of a summer Pahkaparatiisi is open every day 12 p.m. (noon) - 6 p.m. In other seasons it is open only for groups. However, individual tourists may also call and ask if it possible to visit there outside official opening hours.See more..
