About
The Police Museum (Finnish: Poliisimuseo) is a museum showcasing the history of the Finnish police in Hervanta, Tampere. It is located on the Police University College campus and was established in 2004. In 2008, it was relocated to its own facilities and opened to the public. Admission to the museum is free.
In 2019, the Crime Museum operated by the National Bureau of Investigation in Vantaa was merged with the Police Museum, combining their collections. The Crime Museum is not open to the public and is used as a teaching exhibition for police officers, but some of its items are used in the Police Museum's exhibitions.
In 2022, the Police Museum was awarded the Museum of the Year Award by the Finnish Museums Association and the International Council of Museums.
