Museum of Old Vaasa, Vaasa
- 12.6.2026–29.8.2026
The Old Vaasa Museum is presenting an exhibition about the 250-year history of the Vaasa Court of Appeal. The exhibition sheds light on the early years of Vaasa Court of Appeal, its activities and impact on the lives of the people of Vaasa and the entire historical Ostrobothnia.
Vaasa Court of Appeal was established in 1775. The Court of Appeal was established by a decree of King Gustav III as part of a nationwide reform of the administrative and judicial systems. The Court of Appeal began its operations in what is now Old Vaasa in 1776. The exhibition shows the establishment of the Court of Appeal until the mid-19th century and the Court of Appeal’s transfer to a new building after the Vasa fire.
The exhibition presents the ceremonies and exercise of power in connection with the establishment of the Court of Appeal, the planning and construction of the first Court of Appeal building, as well as the lives of its officials and their families in Vaasa. The exhibition also includes miniature models, visual material and stories about the everyday life of the Court of Appeal, its judicature and administration.
