Maritime Centre Vellamo, Maritime museum in Kotka, Finland.
The Maritime Centre Vellamo building features a wave-like design with sheet metal cassettes, silk-screened glass panels, and aluminum grids reflecting sea colors.
Inaugurated in 2008, the Maritime Centre houses the Maritime Museum of Finland, Kymenlaakso Museum, and Coast Guard Museum in a structure using 1,960,000 kg steel.
The museum exhibitions present Finnish maritime heritage through multiple institutions, incorporating interactive elements and educational programs for different age groups.
The centre includes Restaurant Laakonki seating 100 guests, Museum Shop Plootu, a 200-seat auditorium, and an information center containing 20,000 books.
During summer, visitors can explore three museum vessels: the icebreaker Tarmo, lightship Kemi, and patrol vessel Telkkä docked near the facility.
