J. L. Runeberg's Home is the wooden house where Finland's national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg lived from 1852 until his death in 1877. It opened as a museum in 1882 and keeps the family's furniture, paintings, books and descendants of Fredrika Runeberg's house plants; her restored garden lies behind the house.
Porvoo Museum, founded in 1896, occupies the Old Town Hall on the old town square, a Baroque brick building completed in 1764 with a wooden bell tower. Its exhibitions trace the history of Porvoo and Eastern Uusimaa from the Ice Age and show works by Albert Edelfelt and Ville Vallgren; Holm House, an 18th-century merchant's home, also belongs to it.
