    Great donuts, acceptable coffee & an excellent view. Can get very crowded in the small cafe but going on a rainy day we mandated to avoid the crush

    Visited the Tampere 1918, Games, Natural history, Ice hockey, Findlayson & fairy tale sections.

    The games museum was hands down my favourite section with it recreations of rooms through the decades, it felt like a Time Machine.

    Tampere 1918 was interesting but I felt I learnt more having attended anothe Medien earlier in my trip with more English signage.

    The peppers ghost display in the Findlayson section was also quite cool

    A great church in Tampere contains paintings by Hugo Simberg. The building itself is a gray stone church designed by Lars Sonck.

    Super cute and one of a kind. Really reasonable price at €14.50 for an adult. I would say you need no more then 1 hour in the exhibit. There are other attractions at this location also.

    An authentic and beautiful experience with locals. You can even walk there from the centre or take the bus. 2 saunas, plus the dip in the icy lake. Amazing!!

    We arrived early to visit the amusement park which is the main attraction. The elevator ride was fast and smooth. Enjoyed the great views.

    Interesting museum but could do with a bit of polish & more interactivity. Given the name of the museum, tracking Lenin’s life more chronologically would be a plus. The immersive living room display is good. Unfortunately there was a lot of information presented on screens that required you to page through rather than dynamically communicated through exhibits.

    Lot's of sights to see from the beach. I saw a guy fishing there when walking by. There's also a place to throw away cremation ashes.

    Great exhibition of the various developments in living conditions in the area. The guide was great and it definitely added to the visit.

    One of the best museums in town.

    A must see if you are visiting Tampere. Located near the museum center Vapriikki. There's also a park nearby.

    First of all, it's free. Tons of work related history. There was also an unrelated temporarily added photo exhibition.

    Visited the museum with friends. Impressive building in nice surrounding. Exhibition was around „still still life“. Interesting and different. Not too many people, which was good, due to limited amount of parking places

    The building seen from above resembles a big male capercaillie in his pride so the library is known in Finnish as Metso. Architect couple Raili and Reima Pietiläs' design from 1986 has assymetrical lines and unexpected nooks both inside and out. The fame of Metso earned them the priviledge to create in 1993 Mäntyniemi in Helsinki, the formal residence of our president.

    The small museum building near the Metso library is filled with mostly unknown works of local artist Joseph Alanen. He used tempera painting technique with light, shady colours to create mythical pictures of our national epic Kalevala. The chosen style resembles comic book characters with strongly painted outlines and extreme positions. The impressive Lemminkäinen and the Great Serpent was finished in 1920 just before his early death at the age of 34 in the current world epidemic Spanish fever.
