👍 Sarvis' plastic exhibition brings back memories of childhood. The part about the Mir submarine, which reaches a depth of 6 km, is also interesting and topical. The building is also impressive. Minus limited opening days. People often mention museum, history, exhibition, visit, interesting, Tampere,

    Museum telling the history of the Emil Aaltonen, one of the Tampere area industry pioneers. The history is interesting and the 10min introduction video was excellent. Museum is located to Emil's old home, Pyynikin linna (castle of Pyynikki). Museum is fairly small and missing cafe, these are only reasons for dropping stars for this place.

    (Translated by Google) There was a drama tour last Saturday. It was good. Anyway, a place worth watching. Fine paintings and old furniture and utensils and the whole building itself lives in history. Eemil Aaltonen was a major manufacturer and businessman who also thought about his employees. (Original) KÀytiin draamakierros viime lauantaina. Se oli hyvÀ. Muutenkin katsomisen arvoinen paikka. Hienoja tauluja ja vanhoja huonekaluja ja astioita ja itse koko rakennus henkii historiaa. Eemil Aaltonen oli merkittÀvÀ tehtailija ja liikemies, joka ajatteli myös työntekijöitÀÀn.

    This is a very interesting museum: the place itself is beautiful, it has different exhibitions and tells about the history and legacy of an important entrepreneur and his influence on Tampere. Certainly worth a visit.

    I finally got myself here! Too close to home apparently? The museum is in wonderful condition after the renovation done a couple of years ago. Both the basic exhibition about Emil and the changing exhibition upstairs were interesting. E. Aaltones usually comes to mind only with the shoe factory located in Tammela, but there were many others. In addition to that, Sarvis, Lokomo and a manor located in MantsĂ€lĂ€, whose agriculture he modernized. A real engine of industrialization in the Tampere area. And from what starting points! Actually, I should give full stars, but I always wanted that museum cafe..â˜șïžđŸ«–

    The museum building is perfect. Even the building itself was good reason to visit. The main floor has exhibition that is about the mansion and had many lovely paintings and sculptures. Upper floor was a changing exhibition, it was about plastic. I was hoping more from it, it was nice and somehow nostalgic.

    PerehdyttÀÀ selkeÀsti Aaltosen historiaan. Muistoja lapsuudesta museossa. Mahtavaa vai ei, riippunee katselijasta. Opastettu kierros Rock Finlandia nÀyttelyyn, avaa ihan erilailla teokset.

    (Translated by Google) The museum visit was surprising: great art and Aaltonen's versatile life work. Unfortunately, we only had too little time. But we will come again. (Original) MuseokÀynti yllÀtti: hienoa taidetta ja Aaltosen monipuolinen elÀmÀntyö. Harmillisesti meillÀ oli vain liian vÀhÀn aikaa. Mutta tulemme uudelleen.

    A really interesting, great and historical museum. Amazing works of art, history, and varied exhibitions. I recommend!! The entrance fee for an adult is €3, so almost free.

    A nice place to explore the history of Tampere...

  • 4/5 Laura B. 6 years ago on Google ‱ 21 reviews
    A heritage house turned museum, hosting the history of a famous Finnish shoemaker and his legacy. You can also learn about the history of Tampere, especially during WWI and the Finnish civil war. The museum often hosts jazz evenings and other events as well.

    How Finland was built? This museum gives some answers, and tells the story of one of the most successful Finnish entrepreneurs. A real self-made man.

    TÀmÀ kannattaa kÀydÀ katsomassa . Osa Suomalaisen muotoilun, kenkÀteollisuuden ja muovin kÀytön historiaa.

    (Translated by Google) A museum where you can mainly see paintings from the 19th century. There is also an industrial history exhibition in Tampelet. The building is also beautiful.

    It was beautiful. "Eemil and the butler" presented Aaltonen's life in a fun way.

    Avartava kokemus ja tietolÀhde merkittÀvÀstÀ teollisuuden ja tuotantotalouden suurmiehestÀ. Erityisesti draamaopastus on kokemisen arvoinen. Museo on vÀhÀlle huomiolle jÀÀnyt helmi.

  • 5/5 Terhi L. 1 year ago on Google
    Mielenkiintoinen taidenÀyttely kuuluisine taiteilijoineen, Edelfelt, Laureus, Simberg ja Von Wright. LisÀksi naivistinen nÀyttely ylÀkerrassa.

    (Translated by Google) Great art, an interesting history of Aaltonen's diverse influence on the growth and development of industry. Worth a visit. (Original) Hienoa taidetta, mielenkiintoista historiaa Aaltosen monipuolisesta vaikuttamisesta teollisuuden kasvuun ja kehittÀmiseen. Kannatti vierailla.

  • 5/5 Mika A. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A really great museum and knowledgeable staff told Emil Aaltonen's life comprehensively. One of the best museums I've visited in Tampere and I've visited almost all of them in the last year. I highly recommend! (Original) Todella hieno museo ja osaava henkilökunta kertoi Emil Aaltosen elÀmÀstÀ kattavasti. Yks parhaista museo kÀynneistÀ Tampereella ja tullut lÀhes kaikissa kÀytyÀ viimeisen vuoden aikana. Suosittelen lÀmpimÀsti!

    (Translated by Google) The dramatized guidance was a very memorable experience. Great show! Worth a visit. (Original) Dramatisoitu opastus oli erittÀin mieleen painuva kokemus. Upea nÀyttely! KÀymisen arvoinen.

  • 5/5 Linnea K. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Basic exhibition consisting of high-quality classic works and changing naïve exhibition of very high quality. The extensive historical coverage of Aaltonen's life was also really interesting. (Original) PerusnÀyttely laadukas klassikko teoksista koostuva ja vaihtuva naivistinen nÀyttely erittÀin laadukas. Myös laaja historian kattaus Aaltosen elÀmÀstÀ oli todella mielenkiintoinen.
