  • 5/5 Olli M. 1 year ago on Google
    Hieno kohde merta Turun sataman ja Turun linnan lähellä. Ensin kävimme perusnäyttelyssä ja sieltä jatkoimme Suomen joutsenen ja sotalaivojen ihailuun. Bore alus jäi tällä kertaa katsomatta. Perusnäyttely oli aika vaatimaton, siis vertaan sitä Kotkan Wellamo-museoon. Ympärillä on kuitenkin paljon nähtävää, kuten edellä mainitsemani Suomen joutsenen sekä esim. tykkivene Karjala. Täällä kuluu monta tuntia, jos vaan aihe kiinnostaa.

    Very spacious, explorative but at the same time very warmly designed museum. One of the best museums that I've visited in Finland. Exhibitions perfectly shows the maritime world and the number of exhibits is just massive.

    A very impressive maritime museum. Two large indoor exhibitions with old wooden leisure boats, objects, photos and information of shipbuilding, military and commercial exhibition areas etc... Outside there is several navy and civillian museum ships, you can visit. If you tour all exhibitions and ships, it takes easily 4-6 hours. The museus has a large parking area, a restaurant, small shop. The nearest bus stop is a few meters from the door. On a nice day you can walk from the city centre by the river. Guest harbour is a few hundred meters away. Also very short distance from the cruise ship harbour.

    My favourite place in Turku. There are plenty of interesting exhibits showing the history and mechanics of local boats and ships.

    Very impressive. A large amount of the exhibits were hands on, which I found to be unique and a big bonus to the museum. The museum covers all aspects of Finnish maritime history and incorporates technology very well. There are also around 5 or 6 ships that you can go on and look through as part of the museum.

    En itse laivoista tai merijutuista välitä, mutta silti hauska. Joku näitä habittava varmasti saa paljon irti. Etenkin toisen rakennuksen puinen sisustus jäi mieleen, oli kiva.

    Upea mielenkiintoinen kohde lähellä Turunlinnaa. Mielenkiintoiseen museokokemukseen panostettu ja erityisen kiinnostavia olivat lukuisat Bore varustamon pienoismallit. Merenkulun historiaa monelta kantilta, sota-aikakaan unohtamatta. Hienoa että lapsiakaan ei unohdettu vaan heille paljon kiinnostavaa myös... Siis todella koko perheen nähtävyys...

    Kyllähän tässä paikassa oppii paljon kaikenlaista uutta sekä mielenkiintoista. Ja löytyy vähän jokaiselle jotakin. Mutta pieni pettymys että Suomen Joutsenelle ei päässyt koska ilmeisesti jonkun elokuvan kuvaukset menossa. Tästä asiasta voisi toki ilmoittaa jossain.

    Hieno ja todella laaja merimuseo. Kahdessa näyttelyhallissa paljon nähtävää monessa eri kerroksessa. Ulkotiloissa ainakin 4 laivaa, joissa voi vierailla (Suomen Joutsen, Tykki- ja Miinaveneet, matkustaja-alus). Kannattaa ostaa ranneke, vaikka hinta tuntuikin hieman kovalta. Lapsiperheellä meni lähes 5 tuntia alueella. Lapsille oli bingo-tehtävä tarjolla lipunmyynnissä, mutta siitä ei saanutkaan palkintoa =( Pihalla pieni leikkialue. Suomen Joutsenessa oli ääniopastus oman kännykän kautta, todella fiksu palvelu veloituksetta. Tätä kannattaisi laajentaa myös muille laivoille ja näyttelyihin.

    An interesting and versatile museum, one of the best in Turku. A lot of information about the history of shipwreck. The entry ticket paid 9 euro, worth the money. Also available is a two-day bracelet, which also has a museum on the ship. The museum also has a nice restaurant.

  • 5/5 Ville J. 8 months ago on Google • 108 reviews
    Probably the largest maritime museum in Finland. A large exhibition of the military and civil maritime history of Finland. Additionally, there are several large historical vessels that can be visited. We spent over two hours visiting the vessels and about one hour in the main exhibition.

  • 5/5 Tim F. 1 year ago on Google • 34 reviews
    Really well-laid out museum with all kinds if displays and interactive exhibits on Turku’s maritime history. Your ticket includes a look round the bridge of the Bore, the old ship which now serves as a hotel. I only went here because I had time to kill waiting for my train, but it exceeded my expectations and I’d put it at the top of the list of any visit to Turku.

  • 3/5 Marianna T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The interior of the museum is a little disappointing. The ships themselves were more interesting. The children's section was not visited. (Original) Museon sisätilat pienoinen pettymys. Itse laivat oli kiinnostavampia. Lapsille suunnatussa osassa ei käyty.

  • 5/5 Jaakko N. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Manu K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice maritime museum with fairly wide range of display. Suitable for children with wide range of "you can touch me" exhibits. Boating, boat building and structure history, and others with few changing exhibitions. Includes specialties like outboard motor and some sea war history exhibitions. Diverse museum layout with the "skywalk" inside the exhibiton area. Museum consist mainly from two exhibition buildings and two boats that float on the river. Museum includes small shop and nice cafeteria with possibility to have meal. I recommend visit, especially in the summer time.

    Good place to visit if you are interested in ship, boats and history of shipbuilding. On riverside you can visit inside of old ships and military vessels. Also there are Bore ship that has hotel rooms inside.

  • 5/5 Karl S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very informative museum about ships and the naval history of Finland. It is really interactive for kids.

  • 5/5 Pekka H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A stunning visual experience and a breathtakingly extensive artefact with great stories will captivate you with an incomparable sea adventure. (Original) Huikea visuaalinen kokemus ja hengästyttävän laaja esineistö oivien tarinoiden kera tempaa mukaansa meriseikkailuun vailla vertaa..

  • 5/5 Tuija 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Definitely an interesting place inside. Externally seen only a Finnish swan ship in the summer. (Original) Varmasti mielenkiintoinen paikka sisältä. Ulkoapäin nähnyt vain Suomenjoutsen laivan kesällä.

  • 4/5 Terri P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really a lot to see. I thought 1.5 hours would be enough time to visit the museum, but during that time I only had time to go through the main exhibition. So a good reason to come back again and continue your research later. (Original) Todella paljon katsottavaa. Ajattelin, että 1,5 tuntia olisi riittävä aika käydä museossa, mutta siinä ajassa ehti käymään läpi vain päänäyttelyn. Hyvä syy siis palata uudelleen ja jatkaa tutkimuksia myöhemmin.

    (Translated by Google) Lots to see nicely displayed. It's worth taking the time. Could be a good two day destination. (Original) Paljon nähtävää hienosti esillä. Kannattaa varata aikaa. Voisi olla hyvä kahden päivän kohde.

  • 1/5 Mila H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Two weeks ago, when we visited Forum Marinum, my mother and I were charged the full price for the visit, even though we didn’t even get to all the shows. The cashier did not mention this little thing. (Original) Kaksi viikkoa sitten, kun kävimme Forum Marinumissa,meiltä äidin kanssa veloitettiin täysi hinta käynnistä, vaikkei kaikkiin näyttelyihin edes päässyt . Kassatyöntekijä ei tätä pikkuseikkaa maininnut.

  • 4/5 Nogard 4 years ago on Google
    Was my 1st visit and I gotta say I liked it.

  • 5/5 Marcin S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very interesting place. It is best to visit in summer, because for a slightly higher price for a ticket, you can additionally visit several ships that are located on the Aurajoki River, literally a few minutes walk from both museum buildings. There is also a play area for children inside. I recommend it to everyone. (Original) Bardzo ciekawe miejsce. Najlepiej zwiedzać latem, gdyż za niewiele większą cenę za bilet można zwiedzać dodatkowo kilka statków i okrętów które znajdują się na rzece Aurajoki dosłownie parę minut spacerem od obydwu budynków muzeum. W środku jest także miejsce zabaw dla dzieci. Polecam wszystkim.

  • 5/5 Timo L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great museum, the Finnish Swan was wonderful and otherwise interesting to see. (Original) Hieno museo, Suomen Joutsen oli upea ja muutenkin mielenkiintoista nähtävää.

  • 4/5 Osku N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The ticket can be purchased either for demonstration ships + exhibition, for the exhibition only or for one ship only. The exhibition is worth a visit if you plan to visit the museum ships on the shore, eg the Finnish swan. (Original) Lipun voi ostaa joko esittelylaivoihin + näyttelyyn, pelkästään näyttelyyn tai lipun pelkästään yhteen laivaan. Näyttely käymisen arvoinen jos aikoo käydä rannassa olevissa museolaivoissa esim. Suomen joutsenessa.
