Rauma Museum, Old Town Hall
About This Museum
Tucked away on Kauppakatu in the heart of Rauma's UNESCO-listed Old Town, the Old Town Hall is a charming piece of living history. It doesn't feel like a stuffy repository; instead, stepping inside is like walking back into the 18th century when this building was the vibrant center of civic life. You'll find yourself in beautifully preserved merchant halls and administrative rooms, each telling a story of trade and town governance. The atmosphere is intimate and authentic, making it a perfect stop to understand the soul of this historic wooden town.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate scale models of Old Rauma, historical documents that detail the town's past, and period furniture that fills the old council chamber. The exhibits do a wonderful job illustrating the seafaring and lace-making traditions that made Rauma famous.
