Museum Centre Vapriikki, Museum complex in Tampere, Finland
The Museum Centre Vapriikki occupies 14,000 square meters of space in a former Tampella factory building along the Tammerkoski rapids.
The industrial building transformed into a museum center in 1996, with final completion in 2000, preserving the manufacturing heritage of Tampere.
The center includes multiple specialized museums, from the Finnish Museum of Games to the Natural History Museum of Tampere and Ice Hockey Museum.
Visitors can explore over ten exhibitions with a single ticket, with admission prices of 15 euros for adults and 7 euros for children.
