The task of the Turku Provincial Museum is to collect, document and preserve the material culture of humans, to arrange exhibitions and research the collections, and to document the cultural and built environment. The museum also manages authoritive tasks related to the Antiquities Act and produces tourism services. The Provincial Museum is also responsible for the City's culture and nature historical museum activity.
In addition to the beforementioned tasks, the task of the Turku Provincial Museum is to promote understanding of its field and to support and organize regional and international co-operation.
The strategic goal of the museum is to achieve a remarkable position in its field both nationally and internationally.
Turku Castle, Turku Biological Museum, Kylämäki - Village of Living History, Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum and The Pharmacy Museum and the Qwensel House are all part of Turku Provincial Museum.
