Maritime Centre Vellamo is an attraction well worth a visit. The museums of the Maritime Centre Vellamo are full of stories of the sea and the local region. A single ticket will provide you with access to the exhibitions of the Maritime Museum of Finland and Kymenlaakso Museum. Experience history in a variety of ways: listen, look, smell, touch and play. There are so many things to see and do that visitors of all ages can easily spend a full day at the museum.
The Information Centre Vellamo is a research and learning centre open to all audiences, offering library and archive services. The Restaurant Laakonki and the museum shop Plootu complete the experience with their many attractions.
