Moomin Museum

Tampere, Finland, is home to the Moomin Museum. The Moomin Museum displays artwork by Tove Jansson (the Moomins' creator), 40 miniatures, tableaux depicting Moomin activities, and a tiny (2.5-meter-high) Moomin House. Around 2,000 exhibits are on show. The original Moominvalley multimedia is also exhibited. The Moomin Shop sells souvenirs, while the Moomin Library has Moomin books in a variety of languages.

While children may interact with the Moomin characters at the Moominworld theme park, people interested in the series' history and the art of Moomin inventor Tove Jansson can also visit the Moomin Museum in Tampere. The museum will relocate to Tampere Hall in the summer of 2017 and will display a massive art collection presented to the Tampere Art Museum by Jansson and her companion Tuulikki Pietilä, including early Moomin drawings. It is not just a must-see for every Moomin enthusiast, but also an opportunity to learn more about one of Finland's greatest and most adored artists.
