The Suomenlinna Museum offers an engaging way to dive into the rich history of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Suomenlinna. Located just a kilometer off Helsinki’s coast, this fortress has been central to Finland's history, witnessing power struggles between Finland, Sweden, and Russia over nearly 300 years. The museum's permanent exhibition showcases historical tools, clothing, and artifacts, bringing the past to life through immersive multimedia stations. On the second floor, explore the impressive restoration efforts and learn about Finnish and Northern European culture. Don’t miss the "Suomenlinna Experience," which runs every 30 minutes, offering a cinematic journey through the fortress's colorful history and the people who shaped it
