Our exhibition tour introduces life on Lake Saimaa throughout the ages. How did people move around on the waterways? You’ll also get to meet the Saimaa Ringed Seal.

We’ll explore the history of our museum steamships as well. Our shipboard tour takes a look, for example, at the 151-year-old steam schooner Salama and her story. Salama sank in 1898 and spent over 70 years at the bottom of Lake Saimaa.
