Tampere Art Museum Moominvalley is a museum devoted to original works by writer and artist Tove Jansson. The museum is based on the Moomin books by Tove Jansson. So far, they have been translated into over 50 languages. The books fascinate adults and children alike. The original Moomin illustrations by Tove Jansson are an essential part of the atmosphere of the museum, and the three-dimensional tableaux built by Tuulikki Pietilä add to our own picture of the goings-on in the Moomin stories. The gem of the collection is a blue five-storey Moomin House.

Wisdom, humour, a healthy love of adventure and warm geniality have made the Moomin books speak across language barriers. That same atmosphere can also be felt at the museum.
