Lonely Planet review for Maritime Centre Vellamo

Relocated here from Hylkysaari off Helsinki, this maritime museum is a spectacular new museum that fittingly recounts the maritime life of Finland. The tanker-sized building has a wavelike design with a mosaic facade of photographs that’s coolly attractive. The star exhibit is the Tarmo, the world’s oldest ice-breaker (1908) that determinedly ploughed Finnish waters until it was retired in 1970. There’s a roster of changing exhibitions that showcase other sea-based memorabilia.
