This article reviews the public history culture of the municipality of Naantali. I’m analyzing the local history of Naantali and try to offer perspectives as to how and why this particular history is being used. My aim is to present the characteristics of Naantali's public history culture and create a general image of how Finnish municipal governments are using their local histories. Like Naantali, many municipalities have adopted their local history as the core of their public history culture. The problem here is, that the local history selected to serve as the image for the municipality, does not generate identification among its residents. This has an effect on the municipalities cultural politics. At the end of the article I present some new methodological tools for follow-up research.
