Mannerheim's Headquarters, Military museum in Mikkeli, Finland.

The Headquarters Museum occupies the former Päämaja School building, which contains restored wartime offices and military command centers from World War II.

During 1939-1944, this location served as the central command post for Marshal Mannerheim and the Finnish Defence Forces throughout the Winter and Continuation Wars.

The museum presents detailed exhibits about Finnish military leadership, featuring original documents, equipment, and communications systems from the wartime period.

Visitors can access both the Headquarters Museum and Muisti Center with a single ticket, which includes entry to the underground Communications Centre Lokki.

The museum preserves Mannerheim's private railway car A 90, which traveled over 78,000 kilometers during more than 100 military operations between 1939 and 1946.
