The museum Ett Hem was opened to the public in 1932. Since 1965 the museum has operated in the current building on Piispankatu. The museum displays collections of art, objects and furniture collected by the couple.

This home museum, once the residence of Consul Alfred Jacobsson and his wife Hélène, is housed in a beautifully preserved building on Piispankatu, next to Turku Cathedral. The museum is furnished in the style of its era, featuring furniture, art, and textiles collected by the Jacobsson couple. The interior of the museum offers a unique glimpse into a bygone world, where visitors can peacefully admire paintings from the Golden Age of Finnish art.

The museum will be open during Christmas, 29 November 2025 – 4 January 2026
