After we return from the Moomin Museum in Tampere, we go for a relaxed walking tour in Helsinki to see special places connected to Tove Jansson’s life. These are not typical tourist spots — they are real places where she lived, studied, played as a child, worked as an artist, and walked by the sea. We will see her childhood home, her art studio, statues made by her father (with Tove as the model), her school, the harbor where she used to skate, and the park named after her. Your guide will tell short stories at each place so you get to know who Tove was, not only as the creator of the Moomins, but as a real person. It’s like walking through her memories.
