About This Museum

Did you know Jakobstad was founded by a widow? That little fact comes alive at Malmska Gården, a charming museum tucked away on Storgatan. It feels less like an institution and more like stepping directly into the 19th century, right down to the creak of the wide floorboards. You'll find yourself surrounded by the personal belongings and elegant interiors of the Malm family, who called this place home. It’s an intimate glimpse into the lives that shaped this coastal town.

Collection Highlights

Look for the delicate porcelain and fine silverware that hint at their refined lifestyle, alongside maritime exhibits telling stories of local shipbuilding. Don't miss the preserved pharmacy, a beautiful time capsule from a bygone era.

Visitor Information

It's right in the heart of town at Storgatan 2, easy to spot with its classic wooden facade. Just check their website for opening times before you pop in.

Architecture & Building

A beautiful example of Empire-style wooden architecture, painted in that classic Finnish falu red with crisp white trim and ornate details around the windows.
