In the flow of time, following the North Star.
In-depth tales.
The flow carries you along the river Kymijoki to the Gulf of Finland, and the sea can carry you to the edge of the world. The exhibitions of the Maritime Museum of Finland and Museum of Kymenlaakso lead to the tales and people behind the items and events.
The approach in the exhibitions of Maritime Vellamo conforms to the respective topics. The exhibitions do not have a compulsory direction of travel or an uninterrupted plot, which you could lose if you diverge from the route. On the contrary, the visitor is encouraged to seek and choose. Focus on what he or she finds most interesting.
Functionality is important, as is accessibility. Sight, hearing, smell, touch – the visitors are encouraged to use all their senses and experience the joy of insight.
There is also an opportunity to calm down. The customer computers can be used for advancing knowledge, while the jukebox is a place for focusing on music. And in the Space of Idleness you can just be.
