More information on Varalan Liikuntamuseo

The little Varala museum is located in a old mansion-style building belonging to the sports academy. The specialty of the museum is in women's gymnastics, especially the type of rhythmic group exercises peculiar to Finland. The collection consists of photographs, gymnastics outfits and equipment, and literature from the field. In many ways, Finland is the promised land of museums. The density of the museum network in proportion to the population is the greatest in the world. Small specialized museums operate with modest resources and play a fundamental role in local culture. The Varala Museum of Women's Gymnastics is a good example of this kind of grassroots museum. The annual number of guests is only a few hundred, but financial profits are beside the point.
