Åland Hunting & fishing museum - Entrance

The Åland Hunting and Fishing museum is situated in a choice location by the sea at Eckerö Käringsund, next to the old fishing village and grey boathouses. The Åland Hunting and Fishing museum is a museum for the whole family.

The museum describes the Ålanders’ day-to-day life in former times – how people who were hunters and fishermen put food on the table and provided for their families. The exhibitions include everything to do with hunting, fishing and life in the archipelago, such as nets, barrels, sumps, boats, rya rugs, engines, sport fishing equipment, motor sledges, decoys, weapons, traps and trophies. Black and white photographs and texts complement the exhibits and describe life in a fishing village and market – how people hunted seals and fished with a seine. The museum also has a large collection of stuffed birds and animals representing Åland’s fauna.

The Children's Hunting and Fishing Museum
An adventurous discovery awaits our younger visitors! Here, children will meet Örjan Taggelin, the moose. The educational material is designed to engage all ages, from small games for the youngest to quizzes for older children, ensuring the museum is enjoyable for everyone.

At the Children’s Herring Market, kids can step into another time period and experience what it was like to buy herring, black bread, apples, and salt while dressed in historical clothing. For those eager to learn more, we offer popular activity trails, such as Rump Bingo, where visitors (young and old) can track down unique animal behinds displayed in the museum, and paint your own fish.

The museum is accessible to all visitors, with ramps both indoors and outdoors.

Explore Åland’s Geology on Our Nature Trail
Outside the museum, you’ll find a nature trail that takes you on a journey through Åland’s geological history. Learn about the unique formations of the landscape and the natural environment that has shaped life in the archipelago.
