Welcome to the Moominhouse 7 June 2025 onwards!

The Moominhouse is the Moomin family’s home, a cozy haven and launchpad for adventures, and a place where everyone’s welcome, just as they are. In Tove Jansson’s stories, it stands for belonging, equality, and a warm roof over your head (even for the strangest guests).
A brand-new Moomin 80 anniversary exhibition opening at the Moomin Museum on June 7, 2025, tells the story of how the Moomin family finds their blue house. Step inside the lovingly recreated parlour and soak up the magical atmosphere! You’ll also get to see original drawings by Tove Jansson of the house’s many curious visitors and on-goings. And don’t miss the delightful Moominhouse tableau built by Tove, Tuulikki Pietilä, and their friends – a reminder of the importance of play.

The city of courage and openness – Tampere is Home of the Moomin Museum

The Moomins and the people of Tampere have a lot in common. Earthiness, eccentricity and the courage to embark on an adventure. It’s easy to come to Tampere – as if the doors were always open. There is the courage to build something new, to go where no one has gone before. Could there be a more fitting place for the world’s only Moomin Museum?

Moomin House - our pride and joy

On the lower level of the museum, you’ll find our centrepiece exhibit: a five-storey, over two-metre-tall tableaux of the Moomin House. The enchantingly detailed model was crafted by Tuulikki Pietilä, Dr Pentti Eistola, and Tove Jansson, taking them three years to build. It was unveiled at the Bratislava Biennial of Illustration in 1979, after which it toured the Nordic countries. Today it is a permanent exhibit that can be seen only at the Moomin Museum.
