Helsinki Civil Defence Museum introduces visitors both the history of civil defence and present-day arrangements for it in the city. The detailed illustrations of the situation in 1939-1944 include a mock-up of a wartime cellar bomb shelter complete with air raid sound effects. Technical equipment and other materials of post-war civil defence are also on exhibit.
