The Finnish Labour Museum Werstas: The Industry Museum

At the exhibition, you can use a stereoscope to view pictures of 1860s Tampere, play a game to find out how you would have earned a living in a factory a hundred years ago, take a picture of yourself with factory workers, and build your own factory city with building blocks!

The Industry Museum tells the two-hundred-year-old story of Tampere’s industry and how Tampere became “the Manchester of Finland”. The exhibition features various historical artefacts and photos from the old factories, including factory machines and industrial products from Tampere. The experience is complemented by animations, audio stories, and films.
