Spy Museum — Attraction in Tampere sub-region

The displays were really cool and interesting, most of them had English descriptions but some did not.

The museum itself is quite small but the exhibitions are spread in a manner where the space is utilized well and you can spend quite a bit of time investigating the different displays.
