Working Life Museum in Helsinki

Helsinki Worker Housing Museum, Museum of Worker Housing, Työväenasuntomuseo
Finland, Helsinki
The museum is one of 11 branches of the Helsinki City Museum. It is located in one of the oldest wooden houses in Helsinki, over 100 years old. The house in Jugend style was specially built for workers at the beginning of the 20th century. The interiors of rather small one-room apartments from 1910 to 1980 are recreated here. Interviews and photographs of people who once lived here have become the main source for recreating the atmosphere of the last century. In the museum you can see furniture, kitchen utensils, household supplies, personal belongings of the former inhabitants of these apartments and various household items.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, in the dynamically developing Helsinki, it was decided to build "social housing" for workers in factories and factories. Wooden houses with one-room flats, similar to those that are called "communes" in Odessa, were actively built up in the Kallio district of Helsinki, which is now considered "bohemian". In the mid-50s of the last century, dilapidated wooden buildings began to actively disappear from the face of the city, but the municipality, recollecting itself in time, managed to take the rest under its care.
