Rettig Palace, Historic museum in Turku, Finland.
The Rettig Palace houses two distinct museum sections: Aboa Vetus featuring medieval archaeological exhibits and Ars Nova displaying contemporary art collections.
Following excavations in the 1990s, workers discovered structures and artifacts from medieval times beneath the 1928 building, leading to the establishment of an archaeological museum.
The museum combines archaeological research with public participation, allowing visitors to engage directly with professional archaeologists during ongoing excavation projects.
Located at Itäinen Rantakatu 4-6 in central Turku, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 and 18:00.
The cellars contain preserved ruins of 14th and 15th-century houses, with the medieval Convent Riverfront street running through the museum grounds.
