Raseborg Museum (Swedish: Raseborgs museum, Finnish: Raaseporin museo) is a history museum and a regional responsibility museum for Western Uusimaa in Finland.[1] The museum is located in Ekenäs in the city of Raseborg. Until 2006 the museum was known as Ekenäs Museum, which was founded in 1906.[2][3]
Raseborgs Museum has two base exhibitions. One of the exhibitions showcases the history of Raseborg and with Western Uusimaa, while the other one focuses on the art of Helene Schjerfbeck.[4]
A museum for contemporary art, Chappe, was completed by Raseborg Museum in 2023. Chappe was founded and built with the support of Albert de la Chapelle's foundation.[5] Visitors can enter Raseborg Museum with the Finnish Museum Card.[6]
