A good place for those who are familiar with the works of the Moomin trolls. Many mini-installations on individual elements of short stories, all very high quality and interesting. At the entrance give the information sheet that describes all of the exhibits. More

A must for adults and children alike. The miniatures and models are amazing along with the extracts from the books...this place is magical. When I visited I had the whole museum to myself and quite happily spent the whole afternoon looking at the displays and reading the information. It may not be so magical when hundreds of kids are running... More

The original black-and-white drawings by Tove Jansson are really amazing, but the constructions on the other hand are less impressive. No photo opportunities. There were more staff present than guests, but we were there during the week. Also, the related shop is slightly over-priced. More

It's a cool place, although when I visited the place as a child, I was waiting for something less... art museum like. Definitely worth of visiting, even with children :D More

Good for the fans of the original Moomin but the exhibits are interesting for others as well as they are beautifully made. The atmosphere of the Moomin story conveys well. More

Tove Jansson's Mumintroll books became a big hit in England in the 1950s. They filtered through to our children's library when I was in primary school. Jansson was a graphic artist who could also tell a great story, and the Mumin stories certainly were something to us as kids. The museum is a treasure trove of Jansson's drawings and paintings,...

If you don't know what Moomins are or don't understand their charm, this museum is not for you! The Finnis will always have a very special place in their hearts for Tove Jansson and her dear little Moomins. Luckily I have been a Moomin devotee for many years and found this museum completely entrancing! The museum can be a little... More
