Amuri Museum of Workers' Housing
Amurin työläismuseokortteli
A fully preserved district of wooden workers' apartments that recreates the family life of Tampere's workers from 1880 to the 1970s.
The district preserves dozens of wooden apartments, each furnished as it would have been from the late 19th century to the 1970s. There is also a bakery, a shoemaker's workshop, a sauna and a grocery store, which give a clear picture of everyday life in an industrial city. The courtyard café serves traditional pastries. It is open in summer, roughly mid-May to mid-September, and is closed on Mondays. Tickets cost about €10. It is about a 15-minute walk west of the central square.
Opening hours
Open in summer; closed Mondays; approx. 10:00–18:00
