A Look Inside of the Beautiful Moominhouse at the Moomin Museum
In a new documentary and photos by Moomin Characters, everyone gets to see all of the details inside the magical Moominhouse at Tampere Moomin Museum. The house was created by Tove Jansson, Tuulikki Pietilä and Pentti Eistola.
The miniature Moominhouse at the Moomin Museum in Tampere is every child’s dream – a 2,5 metre high diorama with five floors full of incredible details and secret rooms. It was built by three adults who never forgot how to play – Tove Jansson, her partner Tuulikki Pietilä and their friend, physician Pentti Eistola.
A new documentary and article by Moomin Characters feature new images from the model Moomin house at the Moomin Museum in Tampere. For an in-depth exploration, watch the 30-minute documentary above. Be sure to view it in fullscreen to catch all the details!
The video takes you inside the model Moominhouse at the Moomin Museum in Tampere, showing secret spots and jaw-dropping details and sharing the inspiring story of how the house came to be.
Guiding you through the Moominhouse is actress Alma Pöysti, who played Tove Jansson in the recent biopic Tove. Pöysti reads Tove Jansson’s essay about the Moominhouse, where Moominmamma makes sure the house is ready for the night.
Tove Jansson Wanted a Romantic House
Tove Jansson didn’t want to live in an angular, rational box, so when she and her friends started building a model version of the Moominhouse, they let playfulness guide them.
