About the company:
Work Museum Verstas Finlayson is a real storehouse of working life in Finnish Tampere! Since ancient times, the museum is called not only "the city within the city", and the center of the museum has always been considered the Finlayson mill, from where the name of the territory came.
The mill is named after the famous industrialist James Finlayson, who founded here in 1820 a workshop for the production of cotton products. The name of the Scotsman is immortalized in the name of the museum. This is a kind of tribute to the entrepreneur for organizing large-scale production in the city, which itself has become like a small working town.
Today, when cotton production in the region has ceased, there is a museum that has preserved the history of the working life of the region. Also on Finlayson Square is now an active business center, many galleries and restaurants. Visit this amazing place and feel the charm of factory life!
