The Southwest Finland Museums Association is the cooperation body for local and regional museums. Through the association, the museums are able to strengthen cooperation with the Turku City Museum and WAM Turku City Art Museum.
The association organises educational events and study trips for its members. The awareness of local museums is promoted by the Museum Day of Southwest Finland, which is celebrated on the last Sunday in August, and by the annual Museum Achievement Award for Southwest Finland.
All communities and private individuals involved in museum activities or maintaining museum collections are welcome to become members of the Association. Other supporters of local museums can become supporting members of the association.
