I toured this before seeing Aalto's house, and I think that was a good order to see them in. There is a 30 minute tour, and then you are free to wander the studio for 30 minutes and take as many pictures as you like. Still used by the Aalto foundation, but you can see all the main rooms and get a good idea of Aalto's work.

I was taken to the museum by someone who lives nearby and was fascinated by the exhibits and local history (from 500 B.C.E. through to 1950s). They also had an exhibition on Finland’s prohibition. Given that my home country didn’t have prohibition, the concept was unfamiliar! The effort that was put into securing alcohol was noteworthy. It is well worth visiting. The whole museum was exceedingly well-curated, with Finnish, Swedish and English descriptions of all exhibits.

The museum was first opened in 1963 and it tells the vivid story of industrial practises and curiosities - with special emphasis on the manufacturing, consumption and regulation of alcohol - in Finland from the late 1800s until now.
