MUISTI CENTRE OF WAR AND PEACE
Muisti Centre of War and Peace shares experiences of war in order to promote peace. Muisti is for those who are interested in the history of war, and especially for those who are not.
STATE OF EMERGENCY
The first exhibition, STATE OF EMERGENCY, focuses on the Second World War. The Second World War still touches people around the world, including in Finland, through their first-hand experiences, memories, literature, and movies. It is the most significant historical period to shape the European identity.
HOME
What did women and children do during the war? They were not merely its victims. Some women participated actively in the tasks demanded by the war efforts.
BATTLEFIELD
Battlefield focuses on the harsh reality of war, killing, being wounded, mental health effects of war, but also of survival. The recommended age limit to the exhibit is 12 years, and there you get to virtually experience what it was like to be on the frontline.
HEADQUARTERS MUSEUM
The Headquarters Museum was established in 1974, when the office of the Commander-in-Chief Marshall Mannerheim was opened to the public.
