This museum will put you right in the shoes of a worker during Tampere’s industrial boom in the 19th and early-20th centuries.

It covers an entire city block and preserves five residential buildings, each one representing a different stage of Tampere’s industrial development (1802-1973).

Inside you’ll follow the stories of the people who lived here, and learn how they used their free time and celebrated things like births and weddings.

This being Finland there’s a sauna at the complex, built in 1885, while the Cafe Amurin Helmi serves freshly baked bread with breakfast on weekday mornings.
