Moominland Exhibition I
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a Finnish-Swedish writer and artist, who achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the stories about the Moomins. In the 1930s, Jansson had drawn Moomin-like figures that were black, thin and had red eyes. During World War II Tove Jansson began writing and illustrating stories about Moomins. The Moomins we know today are lighter in colour, rounder and friendlier in appearance. In the stories, emotions and contrasting themes such as unknown and familiar, threatening wilderness and the warmth of home, are always present. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley in harmony with nature. They are a family of white and roundish trolls with large snouts.
