5.0 Emil 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..
5.0 Torpedovene S2:n Muistomerkki (2 reviews)
- Wäinö Aaltosen traaginen teos
Monuments & Statues

Muistomerkki on syysmyrskyssä vuonna 1925 uponneen torpedoveneen miehistön muistoksi. Kuvanveistäjä Wäinö Aaltosen tekemä patsas kuvaa hukkunutta omaistaan kaipaavaa naista, jonka hame ja hiukset liehuvat rajussa tuulessa. Saman kuvanveistäjän teoksia voi bongata Helsingissä Ateneumin taidemuseossa, Rautatientorilla ja Olympiastadionilla.

Jos kirkon ovi sattuu olemaan auki, niin sen eteisen seinällä voi nähdä torpedoveneestä rakennetun pienoismallin. Ainakin sunnuntaisin klo 12 alkavaa jumalanpalvelusta ennen pääsee kurkkaamaan kirkon sisälle. See more..

4.5 Kylmapihlaja Lighthouse Island (14 reviews)
- What a place
Spent 2-3 hours Lighthouses

Beautiful island about 9 clicks from Rauma. A 50 minute water bad ride gets you there. We stayed overnight. Our child was a bit ill and the staff were very accommodating. The food was fair to middling, but the location and views make this a value for money situation. The rooms are kind of what you'd expect, to me a bit like my perception of what army barracks would be like. Rooms were clean though. Toilets shared, one on every other floor. Showers were a similar sort of arrangement. There were also sauna available. Overall a great experience really See more..

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..

- Place celebrated its 20th anniversary as a Museum
Spent < 1 hour History Museums

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..

Nearby is a golf course with a restaurant if you get hungry. See more..

4.5 Pori Outdoor Pool (3 reviews)
- Well worth a visit on a sunny day
Sports Complexes

Great and cheap outdoor pool. There's a shallow pool for toddlers, another one for small children and then of course the big pool for adults and children who can swim. In the big pool there are jumping towers at height of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 7 m an 10 meters, but the two latter are only open on saturdays at certain hours, so if you're hoping to jump high, check these out. There' also a nice water slide which ends in a shallow pool, suitable for children from 6 years up, or even smaller kids if you ride with them. One thing I really love about this place is the original 1950's architecture and the saunas, and also that they keep the place clean and nice from one year to the other. See more..

4.0 Burial Site of Sammallahdenmäki (25 reviews)
- Really interesting UNESCO burial site
Cemeteries

We were driving through this area and we really like these kinds of sites and even more so when they are UNESCO designated. As with other reviews a guide would have been nice. But it was still a really nice walk through a beautiful forest and these burial sites are very interesting. Would not make a special trip to go there but if you are driving the Finland coast road it is well worth a 2 hour stop and walk through the forest to see them. See more..
