The museum will be opened in the new premises on May 9th 2017 and it will be based on Tove Jansson’s original works and illustrations of the Moomin books. ln November 2016, a Moomin Museum reading library will be opening under the same roof, offering Moomin books in various languages to be studied. Also a shop with Moomin products will open its doors at the same time. An exhibition called Making of the Moomin Museum will be open at the Tampere Hall’s Winter Garden from November 2016 until the Moomin Museum opens.
