Museum of Technology

The Museum of Technology is a museum in Helsinki that displays permanent and temporary exhibitions on engineering, science, and technological development in Finland. The spaces showcase machinery, equipment, and devices that document centuries of industrial work and innovation.

The museum was founded in 1969 in an industrial building near the Vantaa River, where the systematic preservation of Finland's technical heritage began. The building itself is part of this history, having been used originally for industrial production.

The collection tells how Finland transformed from a farming nation into a technology leader, with machinery and devices that mark this journey. Visitors see how these changes shaped everyday life and work for people across generations.

The site is easily accessible by public transportation, and the grounds are well-marked for visitors exploring on their own. Information signs and staff members are available throughout the exhibition areas to answer questions.

The hangar-like space with its high ceiling accommodates large industrial machinery displayed in full size, creating a striking visual impression. This spatial design allows visitors to truly understand the scale of these machines and their importance to production in earlier times.
