Rosenlew Museum, Industrial museum in Aittaluoto district, Pori, Finland.
Rosenlew Museum occupies a former state grain storage building dating to the 1800s and displays industrial machinery, household appliances, and production photographs from the company. The building itself tells part of the story, showing how factories were constructed and operated during that era.
The company was founded in the middle of the 1800s and grew into one of Finland's largest industrial firms. It remained active for over a century until the factory closed in the 1980s.
The museum shows how a family business shaped everyday life in Finland and provided work for people across the region. Visitors experience through machinery and personal objects what role this factory held in the community.
The museum operates during daytime hours from Tuesday through Sunday and is located at Kuninkaanlahdenkatu 14 in the Aittaluoto district. Plan to spend time exploring since the collection is large and offers many details to discover.
The collection documents the entire lifecycle of Rosenlew products, from farm equipment to kitchen appliances to heating systems. This makes the museum a rare example of how a single company shaped Finland's shift from farming to industrial manufacturing.
