A visit to our museum is almost a Must when visiting Lappo Here you will find one of the most extensive collections of wooden boats in the Baltic Sea
Boats and life in the archipelago go hand in hand. In the archipelago boats are, and have always been, a part of daily life. But times are changing. In times gone by all boats were powered by oars and sails, on fishing trips as well as trips to the city. On the piers in Finnvik were all kinds of old wooden boats: julles, roddsumps, skötboats and storboats – every one of them built with knowledge and feel, good to handle and beautiful to the eye.
The Archipelago Museum in Lappo displays traditional Åland archipelago and fishing culture, as well as the boats that were used on the islands: in fishing, on hunting and market boat trips, in transporting the post and on milking trips. In the unique collections are about ten rustic wooden boats – among them the last remaining boat of a type called ”Storbåt”. A permanent photo exhibition shows old time life in the village.
In connection with the museum is a smithy, restored to its original state, which contains a folk museum with a collection of historical utility objects
