A fair bit for the adult moomin lovers to see, but not that interesting for children. Easy acces, near the city center. Not much to say really. Its more of an art exhibition than anything else.

This museum is dedicated to the children stories characters Moomies, that are in fact little known or unknown outside nordic countries. It's a little bit too dark and obscure, but children seem to be fascinated by the small figurines and various stories depicted in there. Best to catch a free entrance, for example on Tampere Day, that is held annually... More

Well worth seeing. A medium size museum with a diverse collection. The Moomin exhibit is fun and cute.

I love the Moomins and I enjoyed visiting this magical place. The place is a little bit dark, but attractive to all who love books by Tove Jansson. Except original illustration here you can see scenes form the story in the form of miniature diorama. My child especially liked the playroom where she could wear clothes from the fairy tales.

I have been there with my family, and even if my brother and I liked the place, my parents who have not heard about the Moomin before were not that enthousiastic. There are nice pictures and drawings of Tove Jansson's work, and I believe the best piece is the big house of the Moomins: impressive! However, if you don't know... More

I LOVE the Moomins and I have read all the books and I problably know most of their content by heart. So for me a trip to the Moomin museum was like a trip to wonderland. The place is small, dark and a little bit mysterious. The original art of Tove Jansson is wonderful and the little set-up scenes from... More

I hadn't heard of Moomin before so I didn't get much out of this museum. It's a rather small exhibit consisting of mostly small diorama pieces.

If you are a Moomin fan you'l love this place. If you aren't then you'll wonder what the fuss is about! Lots of elaborate dioramas from the TV series and original artwork. There is also a giftshop.....!

We were in the museum with my 2 children aged 1 and 3 and my mom. None of us has read the Muumi books, but we loved the place! Miniature models of Muumi land are lovely! Children were most excited by a real tree floating in the "water" which you can touch and climb on as well as by the... More
