Visavuori is a few kilometres off from the main road Tampere-Helsinki. Worth the break. The old buildings tell us about the work of one of the most famous Finnish the sculptors from the time when the nationalism broke out in Finland. The new building from the 1970’s show us the works of the most famous Finnish cartoonist.

Awesome view from the tower!!! The café downstairs is very good with nice coffee and hot chocolate and the best munkki in the whole Finland! (You can find many different things to drink and eat as well) Besides, Pyynikki has nice places to visit around, like pyynikin uimaranta (beach), the theater etc. Definitely must visit this place!

A kind of a hidden gem - you wouldnt expect such a small place house such a rich collection. Given ties to industrial history and papermills, its safe to say this museum is much better funded and curated than most museums in relatively remote small villages. You can catch samples from Finnish masters (like Gallen-Kallela, Edefelt and Schjerfbeck) and also contemporary art in more frequently changing exhibitions. Beautifull location is a bonus. You should also see their other museum, i think one ticket gives you entrance to both. Sadly we were short on time, so we had to do with just this little piece of magic.
