Lenin Museum
Lenin-museo
The former Workers' Hall where Lenin and Stalin first met, now a museum presenting the modern history of Finland and Russia.
In 1905, the Russian Bolsheviks held a meeting at the Tampere Workers' Hall, where Lenin and Stalin first met. The museum opened in 1946 and was once the only permanent Lenin museum outside the Soviet Union. It was reorganised in 2016 and now gives an objective account of Lenin's life, Finnish independence and Soviet–Finnish relations. The gift shop's Soviet-style souvenirs are very popular. Tickets cost about €12, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is next to Hämeenpuisto park, about a 5-minute walk from the city centre.
Opening hours
Closed Mondays; approx. 10:00-18:00
