Keys to thinking and seeds of insight.
Museums do not provide ready-made answers.
The old saying of museums “You cannot interpret the future if you do not know the past” still holds true. However, knowing the past does not mean being immersed in it. Instead, the museums of today are very much up to date and also look into the future.
Museums are not passive restorers of the past even though cherishing the old is in their domain. On the contrary, museums have adopted an active role in their communities, and Maritime Centre Vellamo also lives up to this principle.
The exhibitions of Maritime Centre Vellamo do not give the visitor ready-made answers, not a single truth, but keys to independent thinking. Your own experiences and sensations lead to insight; links from the past to the present and the future. Each museum visitor can create his or her own interpretation of the truth.
