Infantry Museum

The Infantry Museum was founded in 1982. It contains a rich collection of items belonging to infantrymen, as well as information about the activities and development of infantry units of the army since the beginning of the XVIII century. Up to the present day.

The Infantry Museum is housed in two old buildings on the territory of the old Finnish barracks. The exhibition area of 2000 square meters is filled with a wide variety of exhibits. Here you can see both military equipment and household items of infantrymen. In addition, the exhibition is complemented by a collection of 150 photographs of soldiers awarded Mannerheim Crosses and medals. The exhibition tells visitors about the military life of infantry soldiers, their work on training grounds and life in peacetime.

The artifacts for the collection were donated mainly by private individuals. In addition, the museum has items borrowed from the Military Museum. In general, the exhibition presents a comprehensive picture of the history of infantry in Finland - this is its uniqueness.

For visitors to the Museum of Infantry there is an inexpensive cafe and a souvenir shop full of memorabilia and curiosities.
