5/5

Free, interactive,informative about Finnish culture and establishment of the country

The museum dedicated to the industrial revolution in Tampere, the city also known as the Manchester of Finland.The exhibits are vast, well curated and very interesting. Youll need more than an hour, preferably several, if you want to see it all.The old steam engines, Helene and Marie, are especially interesting, monumental in scale.

Interesting history and exhibitions, free admittance

Visitors here can catch a glimpse of Finlands history and industrialization. Focusing on Finlayson cotton mill and factory workers life, there are freedom museum, steam engine museum etc.

The museum is really great and worth checking out if you are in town. Currently there is exhibition Museum if Freedom with lots of information about Finland and freedom.

Nice! 5/5

Fun place to visit. Favorite stop was a bread making machine, piano and pharmacy

Excellent

The best place to learn about the social and political history of Finland! ❤️🌹

Interesting place even for anti-communits.

Good but not really for young kids

History can give you valuable lessons, if you are ready to learn.

Pretty cool place. Free too

This museum is free of charge and nicely explains the history of labor in Finland. It includes an exhibition about the alcohol prohibition and following legalisation and about the role of trade union workers during and after the civil war. Finally, it closes with the development of a welfare state in Finland after the second world war.Summarizing: Great museum, where you can easily spend 2 hours.

Pretty interesting and its for free!

Very interesting, it gives a lot of knowledge of the Fin culture and history in a very appealing way.

Printing museum chamber

It is a great place to know more about Finlands and Tamperes history. It is free but I recommend to give a voluntary help ($).

A big, free museum in the old part of town.

Lot to see and experience.

Labour museum is very informative and interactive but voice over only in Finnish language

This is a varied and good look into the changing times of TampereThe museum I free (donations are grateful accepted )So some good write ups and artefacts of the changing times and faces of the city and area....Overall a intresting place to learn , but the steam room was a little flat , as in not much to make it exciting ....Great displayWorth your time for a visit

Always worth a visit, when staying in Tampere.

Well equipped museum but heavily influenced by one political ideology. Still worth a visit

There are great exposition here. There is a good store for buying souvenirs. For kids, theres a funny challenge to find clues during the museum visit. Its very funny.

Free entrance on Sunday

Really nice, you can have fun and learn a lot about Finland and Tampere

Ok

An interesting museum of the industrial and social history of Tampere and many ways of the whole country. Take a guided tour and youll understand what you see. Otherwise this is a tough to understand complex.

Quite nice place. We had Christmas party here and everything was arranged excellently.

Great for people visiting Tampere and wanting to know more about the history (for free!I love this museum.

Nice museum where to discover the 20th century in Finland

Varied museum with as showpiece a huge steam machine. Interesting machines and tools from times of revolution in Tampere and how it is related to Worldwide developments, like the use of steam cilinders and the light bulb. Moreover there was an exhibition hall about Finland during war time and temporary exhibitions.

Went to admire art works

Free and informative, enjoyed my visit!
