We have two Alvar Aalto's museum here in Finland. One in Helsinki and one in Jyväskylä.
If you are going to Tampere, you can visit the housing area where is about 14 houses designed by Aalto in 1940's. The bus drives there in 10-15 minutes and you have to drop of a stop called Jokipohjantie 18. The houses were built for men who survived from World War Second.
You can see this rock there which is memory for WW2 heros
The second day you could go to Helsinki by train. You could visit there in Studio Aalto and House Aalto which are both located in district of Munkkiniemi. From the center of Helsinki you can take the tram line 4 and it takes about 20 minutes to get there. Guide tours are arranged for visitors.
