Finnish Boxing Museum 35th anniversary themed exhibition

Suomen Nyrkkeilymuseo ry

The unique museum presenting the history and highlights of Finnish boxing was founded in 1991. Its collections include over 10,000 items. In addition to the basic collection, there is a 35th anniversary themed exhibition that tells the story of the museum's founding and commemorates the greatest Finnish boxing heroes of different decades from the 1930s to the present day. In addition, there is a completely new collection of items received in 2026.

The museum's most valuable objects, or gems, include: Two boxing-themed stamps issued in honor of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, Viking Cronholm's boxing guide from 1910, equipment from the USA-Europe matches (1937–1954) and Magnus Enckell's drawing of Victor Smeds, the first chairman of the Finnish Boxing Association.

In addition to interesting objects and personal stories, a visit will answer questions such as: Why on earth has this rare museum been established in Tampere? What are the Moomins doing in the Boxing Museum?
