It's alright, the icebreaker Tarmo was pretty interesting (especially with the tour) but the rest of the exhibition didn't have too much to offer other than some old boats on display. Worth visiting if you're in Kotka or are driving by though, especially if you're interested in ships, maritime history etc.

We had a wonderful time in the museum, including 2 kids (2 and 5 years). It is very big, meaning we didn't have the time to see all the exhibition pieces, especially the extra exhibition the museum had to offer. The extra cost for the two ships on the outside was absolutely worth it. (Especially the ice-breaker was impressive) Also the restaurant had good food, even for vegetarians, and the price is good.

Very comprehensive view on Finnish maritime history in the permanent exhibitions. The building also houses the museum of the Kymenlaakso region.

A very comprehensive series of displays. Boats, a couple of Aircraft used by the coastguards both prewar and postwar. Archeology, Forestry, Paper industry, Interesting displays for children to get involved with. Excellent description of the Sweden v Russia naval battles in the 18c artefacts. Finland's Maritime history. And computer generated video. Excellent restaurant. One of the best museums I've ever seen.
