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.

New illustrations in the Moomin Museum!

The Moomin Museum's paper-based works of Tove Jansson are sensitive to light, and after a few years on display, they need to rest in the dark. The artworks in the Moomin exhibition were changed in September, and now a completely new selection of Tove Jansson’s delicate and detailed Moomin illustrations is on display. Come and have fun!

Traditional and paper-crafted Christmas joy at the Moomin Museum!

In the peaceful atmosphere of the Moomin Museum, finding a moment of calm becomes possible. Shielded from the world’s noise, visitors can pause to listen to Tove Jansson’s heartwarming short story The Fir Tree and create stunning Christmas tree decorations in the Studio!
