Amuri Museum of Workers' Housing, Open-air workers' housing museum in Amuri, Finland.
The Amuri Museum of Workers' Housing is an open-air museum in Tampere displaying five residential buildings and four outbuildings furnished from different decades. These wooden structures date from 1882 to 1973 and show how workers lived within their homes.
The Amuri neighborhood began in the 1860s as Tampere's industry grew and needed workers to live nearby. These houses survived from that period of rapid industrial expansion.
The homes display how working families lived and used their spaces across different periods. The furnishings and objects tell the story of their daily routines and the living conditions they experienced.
The museum sits in central Tampere and is easy to find. Plan time to walk through the houses and notice the small details that show how people spent their days.
Working inside the historic homes are a shoemaker's workshop, bakery, grocery store, and public sauna in their original spaces. These operating craft spaces show how trades and services functioned in the worker neighborhood.
