The popular Tampere 1918 Finnish Civil War exhibition at Museum Centre Vapriikki closed in early September 2023. However, Vapriikki did not abandon this important topic in Tampere history. The new Tampere 1918 XR Civil War Museum website provides information about the events of the war in Tampere through 3D-modeled virtual experiences, interactivity, articles, images, and videos.

The Tampere 1918 Civil War Museum website is continuously expanding. It was built using the Unreal Engine game engine, allowing for the creation of further immersive experiences. All content is available in both Finnish and English, and it is aimed at anyone interested in the history of Civil Wars, students, as well as those delving deeper into the events of 1918 in Tampere. The use of the website is free of charge.

The Battle of Tampere between “the Reds” and “the Whites” in 1918 remains the largest urban battle fought in the Nordic countries. The war left deep scars on the Finnish society, and the memory of the war remains strong, especially in Tampere. The Tampere 1918 Civil War XR museum is a place for discussion and understanding, and it has a strong message for peace.
