The Moomin Museum is an experiential art museum for Moomin fans and art lovers of all ages. Visit us and relive the adventures of the beloved Moomin family in our permanent exhibition of Tove Jansson’s original illustrations. Experience the magic of Moominvalley by stepping inside the Hobgoblin’s Hat, marvel at our beautifully crafted tableaux, and be amazed by our sparkling comet soaring across the sky! There’s always something new to see in our Observatory, which features a diverse program of regularly changing exhibitions.
Moomin art
Tampere Region’s winter holiday starts on 22–23 February 2025 with a weekend event that invites children and childminded people alike to the centre of Tampere for an adventure. There are eight different stops along the route and participants can enter a competition to win a private visit to the world's only Moomin Museum. The event is part of the Moomin 80 anniversary year programme.
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!
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!
Like Moomin House, everyone is welcome at the Moomin Museum! We want to provide our customers with the safest, most enjoyable and accessible museum experience possible. We are also a member of the We Speak Gay community.
