Overview

The biggest exhibition hall in Tampere is 100 meters (328 feet) long and 16 meters (52 feet) in height. A normal display period for non-permanent exhibitions ranges from a few months to one year, with themes as diverse as archaeology, modern art and science fiction. Often, however, local history serves as a loose connecting theme. The centre has its own library and a café-restaurant, from which you can admire the scenery of the rapids. The museum also has permanent exhibits showcasing few display objects from the museums collection of 367,000 objects.
