The Armour Museum is located in Parolannummi, about 15 kilometres from the centre of Hämeenlinna. The museum presents the armoured equipment of the Finnish Defence Forces and its development in different decades.
The museum's collection includes more than 50 vehicles, including tanks, combat vehicles and transport vehicles. The museum also displays a variety of guns and other weapons used by the Finnish Defence Forces in different eras.
The museum's exhibition spaces are indoors, divided according to different themes. The exhibitions tell, for example, about the development of Finnish armoured vehicles, the use of armoured vehicles in wars, armoured training and the activities of armoured troops.
The Armour Museum is a popular place to visit, especially for families with children, but it is also of interest to gun enthusiasts and history buffs. There are also outdoor exhibits on the museum grounds, which can be explored at your own pace.
