ETT HEM - 'A HOME' MERCHANT MUSEUM
'Ett Hem' merchant museum is mainly open early May - late September, as well as December - early January for Christmas exhibition. Other times of the year open on appointment for groups mainly. All the belongings in this home is from Alfred & Hélène Jacobsson's noble merchants home, they lived roughly 1850-1930 in Turku (Swedish Åbo) and contributed eg to the forming of the Åbo Akademi Foundation. Beautiful furniture, artifacts, china & cutlery, art pieces (Albert Edelfelt, Helene Schjerfbeck, Akseli Gallen-Kallela) adorn this wonderful home. A wonderful place to escape the hectic world and turn back your clock. Across the street you'll find the Sibelius Museum, really nice café next doors and lots of students on the Campus of the Åbo Akademi University (founded in 1640). The imposing Cathedral is just a stones throw away.
