The exhibition was quite interesting. I was not that interested in all the model ships, but that's personal taste. You can tell that the people working there care for the museum in a loving way. But in the winter season when you can't visit the ship Pommern, 16 Euro is way too much for entry. Why can't you just sell the tickets in winter for 8 Euro? Oh sure, you can "reuse" the ticket a second time, but come on, who does that? Which new information could you possibly get out of this? This argument seems very deceptive. In summer I think it's quite fair for the combonation of museum and ship, but in winter? Without this ticket policy it would have been 5 stars as I gave the Ålands cultural history museum.

Great place to visit and really interesting even for someone who isn't usually into maritime stuff. Lots of miniatures and other cool things to look at!

Åland Maritime Museum is a monument to history of Aland as the holder the world's largest fleet of wooden sailing ships. Be sure to visit the four-masted barque named Pommern, built in Glasgow in 1903, which is anchored behind the museum. The interior of the museum is built like a ship's prow cutting into the land. Our cruise ship was docked right next door so very easy to walk over after we had the included cruise tour in morning. Give your self a couple of hours to visit the museum inside and ship outside. When on the ship as price of admission you are provided an audio phone setup to listen to a guided tour of ship. The speakers describe life aboard ship during a fishing cruise.

Pros: -Ticket is good for ship Pommern museum and for the Aland maritime museum where you buy ticket. -Audio guide in many languages for ship museum -Audio guide tells you a story, not boaring facts. My husband thoug felt like it is disadvantage of the audio. He was left with unanswered question. -Nicely maintained and set rooms on the boat, easy to access -Entertaining for kids as well. Few touch screens keep kids interacting, dancing game for adults/kids, you can try on costume on the boat. In ground museum there is few themed kids rooms with a cool stuff -Good looking photos can be made on the boat and in ground museum -Very interesting for all ages expositions in ground museum Cons: -None. We really enjoyed it. I recommend this museum as Must see on Aland island ??
