Exhibitions
The Permanent Exhibition of the Military Museum is located at Maurinkatu 1 in the Kruununhaka distric of Helsinki (about 1,5 km northeast from Central Railway Station) in the former barracs of the 1st Uusimaa Finnish Rifle Battalion built in 1883.
In the exhibition visitors can familiarise themselves with the military history of Finland, from the periods when Sweden and Imperial Russia ruled Finland, through the struggle for independence and the wars of 1939-1945, down until the current period. Weaponry, equipment, uniforms, medals, flags and art with military themes from the various periods are on display. Photographic and archive material and multimedia complement the artefacts. There are special exhibitions dedicated to different themes, too.
The next special exhibition, Winter War, will open in late autumn 2009.
The museum also has summer exhibition spaces on the Suomenlinna fortress island outside Helsinki.The submarine Vesikko and Manegé exhibition are on Suomenlinna island.
