Guided tours at the Kauppiantalo Museum

City life in the time of grandparents

What was urban living like in the early 1900s? A guided tour will introduce you to the life of the Muravjev merchant family in Hamina and the lives of their fellow villagers. In the numerous living and working spaces, time seems to have stopped a hundred years ago. Everyday objects are reminiscent of the past, when even ordinary household chores required patience and good general fitness. The tour can also be adapted to suit groups of children.

Duration in the summer in the square of the outbuildings approx. 45 min, at other times in the main building 30 min. Maximum group size 12 people.
