Geocache Description:

Spy museum is one of the most interesting museums in Tampere.

Quotation from the museum’s webpage: “World map would look different today if there was no spying. In spying, single persons or even single items might have changed the course of history the way they have wanted. However, general documents on history don´t mention much about Richard Sorge, whose information helped the Allied forces stop Hitler in the WW2, or about solving the secret of Enigma- cryptograph, which was vital for Europe. That´s why we have Spy Museum. The speediest and the most colourful moments in history and the underground action deserve to be brought to the daylight.”
