Parola Tank Museum, officially Armoured Vehicle Museum (Finnish Panssarimuseo, Swedish Pansarmuséet) is a military museum located 110 kilometres north of Helsinki in Parola, near Hämeenlinna, Finland, a few kilometres from the Finnish Army Armoured Brigade training unit. It displays various tanks, armoured vehicles and anti-tank guns used by the Finnish Defence Forces throughout their history, including Leopard 2A4 tank which is in present service. Rare exhibits are an armoured train used in World War II and the only surviving example of BT-42 assault gun.
