For 80 years now, the Moomins, invented by the Finnish artist Tove Jansson, have invited us to view the world with a curious eye and an open heart. What began as an artistic experiment by a young political cartoonist evolved into a cultural universe where empathy, courage, and a subversive humor set the tone. The exhibition at the Literaturhaus Munich presents Tove Jansson and her iconic figures in a comprehensive manner for the first time and offers a glimpse into the artistic work that extends far beyond the Moominvalley. The exhibition showcases that special mixture of poetry and anarchy, security and resilience, which has touched generations of readers: a cosmos that reminds adults of their inner child while simultaneously reigniting the imagination.

This tour is explicitly not aimed at children but is recommended for teenagers and adults aged 14 and over who want to discover Tove Jansson as a versatile artist – as well as the timeless messages of her endearingly quirky trolls.

Jenni Holtgrewe is a literary scholar and assisted in the curation of the exhibition in Munich.
