Welcome to home of the Moomin Museum!<\/h2>\n

Did you know that Tampere is home to the World\u2019s Only Moomin Museum<\/a>? At the Moomin Museum, located in the Tampere Hall, you can experience something truly unique and see Moomin artworks exactly as Tove Jansson originally created them. The museum is a treasure trove for fans of the Moomins and visual art alike. The collection of illustrations and dioramas donated by Tove Jansson to Tampere makes the museum an enchanting experience that captivates visitors of all ages!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to visit the Moomintroll statue<\/strong> in Sorsapuisto, right next to Tampere Hall. Did you know that the statue was modeled after a diorama figure created by Tove Jansson\u2019s life partner, Tuulikki Pietil\u00e4, in the 1980s? The bronze statue was cast in 2004 at the initiative of architect Raili Pietil\u00e4, the wife of Tuulikki\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n

Psst, you can spot a Moomin tram in Tampere!<\/p>\n

Light Gallery 2025: The Moomins’ journey home<\/h2>\n

This year, the Tampere Festival of Light<\/strong> celebrates the Moomins\u2019 80th anniversary with Moomin-themed illuminations and the Light Gallery exhibition The Moomins\u2019 Journey Home<\/strong>. The illustrations are drawn from Tove Jansson\u2019s very first Moomin story. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Light Gallery installations can be admired in the evenings from 24 October 2025 to 8 March 2026.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Moominhouse Exhibition at the Moomin Museum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Explore the iconic Moominhouse, built by Tove Jansson<\/strong>, Tuulikki Pietil\u00e4<\/strong>, and Pentti Eistola<\/strong> in 1979. In the exhibition, you can discover the house’s most hidden corners, including spots usually out of sight, like the Moominhouse sauna! Visitors can also learn about the materials, sketches, architecture and building process. Building the Moominhouse was a joyful playtime for its creators. Originally made for the International Illustration Biennial in Bratislava in 1979, the diorama toured various countries and exhibitions before Tove Jansson donated it to the city of Tampere in 1986. Today, it has a permanent home in the Moomin Museum, where it is a beloved centerpiece of the permanent exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Moominhouse symbolizes safety, shelter, and togetherness. During the\u00a0Moomins 80\u00a0anniversary year, the Moomin Museum\u2019s Observatory<\/strong> exhibition delves into the theme of home in Moomin stories, featuring Tove Jansson\u2019s original illustrations, letters, objects, photographs, and film materials. Among the highlights is the very first illustration of the Moominhouse, created by Tove Jansson for the debut Moomin book,\u00a0The Moomins and the Great Flood\u00a0(1945).<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be on display at the Moomin Museum from June 7, 2025, to August 16, 2026.<\/p>\n
