Mannerheim Museum

Mannerheim was the 2nd President of Finland. His home is worth a visit. He collected all sorts of things during his travels. The Mannerheim Museum is located on top of a hill in a prestigious residential area next to the Kaivopuisto park in Helsinki. This place has spectacular panorama of the sea and the islands near Helsinki.

Located in the rented place Mannerheim, Finland's principal real-life hero, called home for most of his life. The displays track his life from his service in the Tsar's army to his leadership in the Finnish War of Independence and later his leadership of Finland through World War II. Tours through the house are guided. The quality of the guides is erratic as is, for some, the quality of their English.

Built in memory of former Finnish President Manaheim, it houses a collection of exhibits including General Manaheim's marching bed, uniforms, medals, personal weapons, and most notably the medals Manaheim received from many countries! Opening time Friday to Monday 11:00---16:00, Monday to Thursday rest!

He has been to many countries and has learned many languages, and besides Finnish, Russian, French, German, English, Polish, Portuguese and a little Chinese, he is a language genius (rarely a soldier so learnt). Because he saw the misfortune of most wars to mankind, he longed for peace. １９１７ He finally returned to Finland in the year of Finland's independence, and then the Finnish civil war, in short, he could not escape from war. He thought the children were the future of the country, and formed the Mannaham Child Welfare Union, which then became the president of the Finnish Red Cross. He died of illness in Switzerland in his later years.

It is the former president's residence, which is not said to be very big, it is worth visiting.
