At Rymättylä Museum you can explore everyday life in the archipelago. The museum includes a main building dating back to the 1700s, an original loft storehouse, and a dairy room from the 1800s.

The museum is located near Rymättylä church village in the old main building of a former Masku farm. In the idyllic yard you’ll find, in addition to the 18th-century main building, a loft storehouse, an 1800s dairy room, a retirement cottage for former farm owners under a syytinki (lifetime support) agreement and a granary.

The permanent exhibition tells the story of everyday archipelago life. The granary hosts a permanent display on Baltic herring seine fishing. In summer, the museum also features a changing themed exhibition.

Opened to the public in the early 1970s, the museum runs a small summer shop with gifts and souvenirs related to the museum, past times and Rymättylä. Outside opening hours, visits can also be arranged by request. The city-owned museum is managed by the Rymättylä Association.
