Vaino House Museum
Ostra Strandgatan 32, Turku, Finland
About the company:
The Vaino House Museum is a veterans’ house-museum in the picturesque city of Imarta. It's been around for almost 10 years. During this time, this place managed to develop into a full-fledged museum. In the Vaino House Museum you can get acquainted with the history of Finnish independence. In the room dedicated to the memory of war veterans, you will see many exhibits left over from the times of the Winter and Great Patriotic Wars.
In the courtyard of the museum there is a memorial stone dedicated to the memory of all veterans of the last war. You can also see a Swedish anti-aircraft system, a gift from the children of the Ladoga group. The children raised money, ordered an anti-aircraft gun and then at a festive ceremony handed over the exhibit to the museum to remind passers-by of the difficult times of war. You can also see a real Russian cannon, which was decommissioned by the Finnish army and bought by Eyla Ikyavalko specifically for the house-museum.
For the youngest visitors collected collections of toy house and Barbie dolls.
