Moomins

Moomins, the beloved fairytale creatures living in Moominvalley and created by iconic Finnish author Tove Jansson, are the subject of a visiting exhibition at National Children’s Museum in Washington, DC until January 9, 2022. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley. The exhibition presents Moomin animations from different eras and parts of the world, from the very first Moomin film to premiere on TV in 1959 to the most recent, award-winning 3D animated TV series, Moominvalley (2019). Along the way, you’ll explore the universal values of the Moomins, such as equality, inclusion, kindness, and respect for nature. You can also leave your own message of kindness for others to see.

As a special treat for this Kids Euro Fest, there will be 100 free tickets per day available on October 10, October 16 (including a special session with Moominvalley episode director Jay Grace), October 17, and October 24. The Sunday events will also feature possibilities to meet the Moomintroll at 10:30, 11:30, 2:30 and 3:30!
