The Vapriikki is amazing. You can find all kind of museums here. The Stone Museum, Media Museum Rupriikki , Puppet Museum , Pirkanmaa Provincial Museum , Postal Museum , Finnish Ice Hockey Museum , Finnish Game Museum and Tampere Museum of Natural History. Vapriikki is named after the Swedish word fabrik. The Museum Center is located in the former workshop of the Tampella Mill, the oldest parts of which were built in the 1880s. Half of the total area of 14,000 square meters in Vapriiki is reserved for exhibitions and public spaces. I’m a history freak, so the most interesting for me was the exhibition “Tampere 1918”, which tells about the bloody battle between the Whites and the Reds during the Finnish Civil War 1918. Perspectives are offered by the fighters on both sides, but civilians and onlookers are not overlooked either. The exhibition presents a large cross-section of society at war, from children and old people to workers and factory managers. The Vapriikki was selected as the Museum of the Century at the Centennial Cultural Gala held in October 2017 as part of Finland's 100th anniversary program.

The Finnish Labour Museum Werstas is based in the historical Finlayson cotton mill area in the heart of Tampere. At Werstas you can visit the Labour Museum's exhibitions, Textile Industry Museum and Steam Engine Museum, free admission.
Great little museum - free entry and a varied range of intelligently curated exhibitions covering aspects of working class culture and workers' history in Finland. The steam engine is enormous and worth going to have a look at. Some of the displays are quite quirky and humorous and all of it is thought provoking - I learned loads about the history of the co-operative movement and its trials and tribulations through the ups and downs of the Finnish economy in the 21st century.

The worlds only Moomin Museum is locates at Tampere Talo aka the biggest opera house in Finland. Good location to visit as family, both adults and children has something to do. They have translations with Finnish, Swedish, Russian, English and Japanese. The ticket allows you to say 4 hours but 1-2 hours is enough. It is forbidden to take photos inside of the museum except one location ( staff will help you) It’s the second location of the Moomin Museum (first one was at the central library). There are storytelling times when visitors can listen the stories (adults and children). Every day there is an art workshop on the B1 floor All of the original drafts and models are visible in the Museum. The location is close to city centre and central train station (10-15 min walk).
