The Moomin Museum within Vapriikki holds the world's most comprehensive collection of original Tove Jansson illustrations and artworks related to the Moomin world. The centrepiece is the Moomin house — a detailed scale model of the Moominhouse with illuminated rooms, built by Jansson herself over many years.
The museum presents the Moomins as literature and art rather than as a brand, which gives it a different quality from the commercial Moomin experiences that have proliferated in Finland and Japan. The exhibitions include original drawings for the comic strips and books, letters, and personal artefacts from Jansson's life. Adults without children find it as absorbing as families. Budget 90 minutes.
