Did you know?

The Finnish police have two museums: the Police Museum and the Crime Museum.

The Police Museum in Tampere is a museum for the whole family, open for all.

The Crime Museum in Vantaa is not open for the general public. The Crime Museum operates on the premises of the National Bureau of Investigation, but it is part of the Police Museum. Some objects from the Crime Museum are displayed for the general public in Police Museum exhibitions.

Only groups consisting of police stakeholders may visit the Crime Museum. Further information is available on the National Bureau of Investigation website.
