The Sailor’s Home Museum’s permanent exhibition

Do you know what it signified when the porcelain dogs sitting on the windowsill of a sailor’s house were facing outside? The man’s loyal friends were waiting for their master to come back home! Once the master had returned home, the dogs were turned back to face inside the house.

Get to know the life of the sailors at the permanent exhibition in The Sailor’s Home Museum! In the exhibition you will also learn about the many phases of the museum building Matila House and the history of Pikisaari.
