Tampere

This week I had a free morning to walk around Tampere. I was staying at the university of technology student´s place, which isnt so near the city center so I had to get a bus to get to the center.

I had a map in hands with the location of the things i wanted to see, and it was incredibly easy to find them. I got to the center at around 8 am and the weather was very cloudy, windy and chilly. Before I started my tour i stopped in a cafe and had a cup of tee to warm myself up a little bit. Ahh I also spent some half an hour there studying finnish cause I would have my level 2 exam the next day.

After that I went out. I visited the Muumin museum, because i like muumins so much and it was a perfect place to know all the history of  muumins, and much more. In the exhibition there were, paintings, illustrations from the books, and miniatures so perfectly hand-made! I was stunned. When i finished that, i went outside and it was raining.

Pictures of Tampere. This was the only part of the exhibition which could be photographed : (

I just LOVE the autumn colors, its so beautiful!!! In finnish its called “RUSKA”. Next stop was the pikkupalatsi (small palace), the park, Finlayson, churches, specially the Tuomiokirkko, cause I needed to see the painting of the boys carrying the wounded angel. This painting is so famous, and beautiful, unfortunately I couldnt see close but at least I managed to take a picture. The Amaranth video of Nightwish tells the story of the painting.
