Tampere has an excellent museum in the Vapriikki: several museums in one. I wanted to include a couple of photographs from the Shoe Museum and the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame. See www.tampere.fi/vapriikki for more. I didn't get to see the photo archives, among the country's largest archives of historical photographs. The building is what used to be the engineering works of Tampella Ltd., on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids. I spent a very pleasant hour and a half on a whistle stop tour of the main exhibits..........first the Shoe Museum.
No problems with getting the camera out, which is always a good thing. And it was hardly crowded.
In my next post I will be returning to some of my favourite parts of Helsinki.
