Duo of unusual museums
Spent a couple of hours around noon walking around Tampere and catching two museums I’d long planned to visit.
The Lenin Museum was smaller than I thought - basically two rooms packed with paraphernalia (letters and documents mainly) on the life of the first soviet leader.
The Spy Museum was a slightly bigger affair, and packed with lots of information and goods. The museum in Tampere claims to be the very first establishment on the subject in the world, but the vastly bigger one in D.C. has surpassed this. Though here photography is not banned, it just costs extra.
Rounded out the trip with a visit to Swamp Music (new Alice Cooper and Blackfoot’s Flying High amongst the loot) and a lunch at Plevna (excellent mutton sausages accompanied by stingingly hopsy pale ale).
