Old Keys: A Window into Medieval Turku, Finland (1200-1600) at Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum This evocative image of a collection of old keys transports us back in time to the medieval city of Turku, Finland, during the 1200-1600 period. The keys, displayed at Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum, offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and daily life of this significant European city during the Middle Ages. Aboa Vetus, or Old Turku, was the historical heart of Turku, the former capital of Finland. The museum, which is part of the Ars Nova complex, showcases the remains of this ancient city, including its medieval cellars, which date back to the 13th century. These cellars provide valuable insights into the daily life, trade, and culture of the time. The keys in this image, with their intricate designs and worn surfaces, tell stories of their own. They may have once unlocked the doors of grand manor houses, fortified churches, or merchant shops. Each key represents a piece of history, a link to the past, and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The Finnish Museum of Cultural History, which manages Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, has meticulously preserved these historical objects, ensuring that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by them. The keys, along with the other exhibits at the museum, serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Turku and Finland during the Middle Ages. This image invites us to explore the mysteries of the past, to ponder the stories these keys might hold, and to appreciate the craftsmanship and history of a bygone era. A visit to Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum in Turku, Finland, is a must for anyone interested in European history, medieval culture, or the intricacies of historical objects.
