The Ruhnu Museum was established in 1990, and its current permanent exhibition opened in 1998.

In the museum, you can see tools and utensils that belonged to the people of Ruhnu, as well as photos and texts about the island’s unique history and nature. There are also traditional costumes worn by Ruhnu men, women, and children. Among the rare exhibits are quartz tools dating back up to eight thousand years, a dragon-shaped weather vane from the wooden church (1644), and a seal gun made by the indigenous Swedes, among others. The restoration of the nearly two-century-old Korsi farm, the last remaining typical farm complex of the Ruhnu Swedes in Ruhnu, is underway. It is unique with its foundationless longhouse and hipped roof.
