The Åland Museum exhibits the history of Åland from prehistoric times up to the present day. Plenty of artefacts from fossils and archaeological finds to the interior of an entire pharmacy. The Åland Art Museum displays pictures by both old and young Åland artists.
The Cultural History Museum of Åland and Åland Islands Art Museum are two museums under the same roof in Mariehamn in Åland (Finland). The building houses even other collections and staff of Ålands Museum, which was formerly the name of the Cultural History Museum, nowadays a wider roof organization for several museums. The building is located in the eastern part of the town, about 200 metres from the harbour. Along with Åland Maritime Museum it is the most important museum in the islands. The art museum is referred to in the Swedish language as the "Konstmuseum" and in Swedish, the Cultural History Museum is often shortened to "Kulturhistoriska".
