Crown Granary Museum

The latest member of the local museum family, the Crown Granary, is located but a short walk from the centre Raahe. The former state granary sheds light on Raahe’s past from prehistory to modern times and also currently holds the famous oldest diving suit in the world the Old Gentleman. At this museum, you get to do more than just look at the items on display, as touching and trying things out are very much permitted. Between experiencing the museum’s other content, visitors can pet the seal lady Harmastus, try on a heavy diver’s helmet, lift loads with pulleys or work on an ancient Giant’s Church stone enclosure. The exhibition at the Crown Granary is updated continuously, so there is sure to be something new to experience each time you visit.
