Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Sanna2888Oulu, Finland81 contributionsI loved our visit to the Moomin museum! I especially enjoyed Tuulikki Pietilä's miniature art based on Tove Jansson's stories. They were truly beautifully detailed. Our 4-year-old daughter was slightly frightened by some parts of the museum because the lighting is very dark. Our favourite bits were the miniatures and the giant version of The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My. Well worth the money to visit.Written 8 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RockhillsFinland130 contributionsLots to see in a old factory building. The layout of the exhibitions is bit confusing. As a wheelchair person I really appreciated that the guide took the time to help me navigate through several levels and elevators to Manserock.
Note that the museum shop is not fully accesible. Some exhibitions are tight and larger wheelchairs will struggle. The cafe looked nice but too crowded for wheelchair. Handicapped parking is by the main entrance. We did not see all the exhibitions and will most likely visit again.Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some interesting things here and there, but not really a must see if you visit Tampere.Written 2 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heli PHelsinki, Finland7,713 contributionsThe 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.Written 29 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They were able to supply this service with a smile. I didn't spend a lot of time exploring the place since my goals were strictly business.Written 14 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MustaKissaMuonio, Finland103 contributionsA must go for all interested in stones and minerals! I enjoyed it greatly. Mineral museum takes only a part of the whole Vapriikki museum. It's not huge, but not super small either. The collection has some really nice specimens. Meteorites, fossils, huge fossilized tree trunks, huge amethyst geodes and much more. Many specimens are from Finland.Written 4 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sofia MHelsinki, Finland715 contributionsVisited 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 placesWritten 13 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TuyazhEastern Finland, Finland142 contributionsThere is lots to see and it's very intuitively designed as you first walk in. Very easy to see everything systematically. I would recommend going right when they open, as i hear it get crowded since its a free museum. We were there immediately when they opened and in the first hour there were already kids and people more than one would hope. This is also a very popular spot for families with children so if you want to avoid crowds of kids, try to go early.Written 4 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leif BPietarsaari, Finland3,079 contributionsWhen I was to Vapriikki I also visited the Finnish Postal Museum, which tells the story of Finnish postal history and different phenomena around messaging and transporting in different decades. The Finnish Postal Museum has a vast collection of artifacts and photos as well as stamps published in Finland, along with philatelic special exhibitions.Written 19 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JariJKKouvola, Finland7,076 contributionsHaihara Art Centre is open in summer. You may visit art exhibitions in the old manor house (from the 1870's) without any admission fee. They claimed that also a ghost named Blue Maid wanders around the rooms of the manor. She is said to be a former servant of the house. There may even be several ghosts there. Believe it or not.
The nice summer cafeteria named Kahvikamari is located in the old workers' house which was built in 1811. You may also visit Runeberg Cottage which was named after Johan Ludvig Runeberg, the national poet of Finland. He spent the summer 1834 there. There are also several other interesting and historical buildings on the area of Haihara Manor, e.g. an old windmill.
This place is quite earthy and countrified, not very elegant. However, we loved the milieu with art, historical buildings, nice vegetation (e.g. a birch alley from the manor to the beach) and the summer cafeteria.
The beach of the manor isn't very good for swimming. There is a better public beach very near the mansion. So if you want to swim, I recommend that you go to Riihiniemi Beach (Kaukajärvi, address Järvikatu 14).Written 26 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place is located just few blocks away from the city center, in the same block with the nice cafeteria in the Finlayson factory area.Written 24 September 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
