Aboa Vetus
The permanent exhibition of Aboa Vetus gives real insight into life in medieval Turku. The exhibition leads the visitor through the streets of the old Convent Quarter, set amongst the genuine ruins of medieval Turku. Aboa Vetus and Ars Nova is situated on an area where archaeological excavations have been going on since the early 1900s.
The Adventure Tour
The Adventure Tour is the children’s own guided museum tour, arranged by order also in english for the groups. For school-age children, Aboa Vetus offers the Exploration Booklet. Questions and challenges related to the history of the Convent Quarter will lead children to explore old bones as well as write in the medieval way on a wax tablet.
