The Olympic Sports Museum - Helsinki

Excellent value for money this museum, the sporting trials and tribulations of the Finnish people may not amount to much in relation to more established countries but for a small museum there is so much here from the gold medals of Finnish heroes of sport to the medicine bag dumped at a motorway service station which contained the drug paraphenalia that was administered to the Finnish cross country skiiing team which so disgraced the nation when they hosted the World Championships at Lahti. Oh and there's a journalist's badge festooned jacket that would put Myles Quinn's hat to shame!
