Create an itinerary including Mannerheim Museum

Learn about the life of a military hero and statesman at Mannerheim Museum, once the home of its namesake. Poised on a hill above an upscale residential neighborhood, the museum displays the artifacts of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, whose precarious childhood led to an interesting life in the military fighting for Russia and later against Russia. His education by experience is reflected in the many objects brought back from distant places as well as the broad range of subject matter represented in his library. The house is in its original state, with furniture and decor from Mannerheim's own collection, while the exhibits display medals and honors he earned. You can also view his extensive book collection and family portraits. Notice Mannerheim's uncomfortable-looking bed, where he kept strict sleeping rituals.

Very nice museum to know about the past president Mannerheim. Need to book ahead online coz it only accepts 10 people for each tour session. And it only opens on Friday Saturday Sunday with only one English tour available.

Surprised to see such a beautiful museo in Helsinki! You must book a guide, that will explain in detail all the rooms and Mannerheim's life.

Excellent museum (of Mannerheim’s former home). We had a fantastic guide (in English) that told us the amazing story of a larger than life character and national hero. Highly recommended!

It's mandatory to make a booking because it is a guided tour, which wasn't written in the city guides, but we were able to make it for the same day on place and it was worth it. The english guide was very charming fellow, he made the tour very enjoyable and interesting.
