Amuri Museum of Historic Housing
The Amuri Museum of Historic Housing showcases the homes of workers in the Amuri district and tells the life stories of the kind of people who may have lived there. It enables you to take a peek into the day-to-day life of Tampere’s workers over the span of nearly a full century, from the 1880s to the 1970s. Only open from mid-May to mid September.
Moomin Museum
The world’s only Moomin Museum is situated at Tampere Hall. The Moomin Museum is an art museum devoted to original works by writer and artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001). Its unique collections comprise around 2000 works of which about 800 are Moomin-themed. The three-dimensional tableaux built by Tuulikki Pietilä add to our own picture of the goings-on in the Moomin stories. The gem of the collection is a blue five-storey Moomin House.
