Tampere was founded in 1779. Beginning in the mid 1800's heavy industrialisation brought many new inhabitants to the town. They needed somewhere to live and the burgesses had to give up their fields. These wooden houses were built then.

in the beginning of the 1900's there were 5,000 people living in these wooden house quarters. There were also many public saunas in Amuri because Finland is the home country of sauna.
Nowadays you can see old wooden houses furnished according to different time periods in this wonderful museum.

This gives you a idea how typical Tampere-people has lived from 1800 to 1970.I allways like museums like this-and so I like this too.
You can buy typical Tampere-bread"rievä"in the museum-cafe,or have cup of coffee with old fashioned cakes or cookies.

The Amuri Museum of Workers Housing
This is an entire block of wooden and original houses furnitured and decorated exactly as when the different owners lived there. There's a little story about all the families and their daily life through the last one hundred years. It is absolutely interesting and said to be the most realistic home museums in all Finland.

AMURI, MUSEUM OF WORKERS´ HOUSING
The Amuri museum quarter consists of five residential and four outbuildings. All of the former lie in their original positions as do the outbuildings. One outbuilding is a later addition housing a mixed public sauna.
Just as with old Amuri, the museum also has a cobbler's shop from 1906, a 1930's bakery and co-op as well as a stationer's and a haberdashery dating back to the 1940's.
