The World’s Only Moomin Museum
The Moomin Museum is an experiential art museum that takes visitors of all ages on an imaginary journey to Moominvalley. Our magical exhibition presents original Moomin illustrations donated by Tove Jansson in 1986, featuring the maritime adventures of her iconic cavalcade of loveable characters.
Rounding out the exhibition is a selection of action-packed three-dimensional tableaux crafted by Tove’s partner, the graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä. Allow at least an hour or two for your visit… and come back soon, as there’s always something new to see and do at our museum

The Moomin Museum Reading Library
Located in the Tampere Hall foyer, directly opposite the Moomin Museum, you’ll find the Moomin Museum Reading Library. The library is open to everyone during Tampere Hall’s opening hours, and you’re welcome to drop in whenever you like.
The books are available for reading on-site only, so make yourself comfortable on one of the cosy benches and immerse yourself in the world of the Moomins.
The Reading Library features Moomin books in more than 30 languages, as well as books about Tove Jansson. The collection includes many treasured editions gathered over the years.
The Moomintroll Statue
Have you already spotted the charming Moomintroll statue next to Tampere Hall?
The statue is located in Sorsapuisto Park, along the Moomin Museum Path. Standing on a low natural stone, the statue is easily accessible—you can sit beside it, take photos together, and even give Moomintroll a hug.
The statue is based on a Moomintroll figure sculpted from Styrofoam by Tuulikki Pietilä, Tove Jansson’s life partner, in the 1980s. At the initiative of architect Raili Pietilä, Tuulikki’s sister-in-law, the figure was cast in bronze in 2004. The statue was relocated to its current location beside Tampere Hall in 2017.
