If you plan to visit many museums in Finland, then think about buying the Museum Card. It costs about 86 EUR, and gives you access to over 360 Museums in Finland, of which 8 are located in Aland.
More details regarding the Museumcard, Museums in Finland and Museum Events here.

Finnish Museums also offer certain days during the month or year where not entry must be paid. Check the website and plan your trip well.

Very nice folk museum and right behind it a nice viewpoint for birdwatching.

At the Kökar museum you can see, learn and experience how the inhabitants of Kökar used to live. The museum is located in Österbygge-Hellsö old schoolhouse from 1913 and was opened by Kökar folklore society in 1988. There is the permanent exhibition “Another Kökar” that shows life on Kökar in the 19th century up until the 1940’s through a fantastic collection of photos and films. In the main building there is also the old church organ from 1911, photos, old furniture and textiles.
At the museum area there are old buildings, but also new houses built according to old style. There is a boat exhibition with old boats and functioning boat engines, a log-house, a furnished cottage and a cowshed with agricultural tools. There is also a pottery and a wooden forge. The unique outside lavatory with ventilation and six sitting holes can be seen at the museum area. Down by the sea there is a boathouse, a fishing cabin and a stone pier with a caisson.

The museum is open daily from 11 am to 4 pm from late June to mid August, Wednesday until 8 pm from 25th of June. At other times it is open by appointment, phone +358 457 5244077.
