Lonely Planet review for Forum Marinum
Set back from the river, this excellent maritime museum has a permanent exhibition in an old granary. It’s a comprehensive look at different aspects of ships and shipping, from scale models to full-size vessels. Kid-friendly highlights include the hydrocopter, WWII torpedoes and multimedia displays. The newer building opposite has regular exhibitions, as well as several vessels and a cabin from a luxury cruise-liner, as many were built in Turku.
