This museum is dedicated to Finnish President, politician, Marshal and one-time regent C. G. E. Mannerheim (1867-1951). The museum, situated in his former home, was founded in the year of his death; the home and its interior have been preserved as they were then. The exhibits include Mannerheim's uniforms, medals, personal weapons and photographs, as well as his exotic east-Asian collections. The building itself is known as the Boman villa, and was built in 1873. You can get to the museum on trams 3B and 3T.
