TIME : 2016/2/18 18:36:27

A bright, modern glass-and-steel exhibition space in the renovated Tampella textile mill. As well as regularly changing exhibitions on anything from bicycles to Buddhism, there’s a permanent display on Tampere’s history, a beautiful mineral museum , a natural history museum and a small but cluttered ice-hockey museum , with memorabilia of star players and teams from Finland’s sporting passion. There’s also a museum of shoes – Tampere was known for its footwear industry – and a pleasant cafe.
