Exhibition

Artist Family Jansson

13.2.2026–10.1.2027

The Tove Jansson Gallery at HAM opens on a larger scale than ever before, now spreading across three exhibition halls. The first exhibition at the gallery focuses on the Jansson family of artists and opens the door to a home where art was a way of life.

The Tove Jansson Gallery is built around the beloved frescos Party in the Countryside and Party in the City, which are permanently on display. Spanning three exhibition halls, the gallery aims to strengthen Tove Jansson’s artistic legacy and significance in both art history and Finnish society. It showcases Jansson’s art in a diverse way and introduces new perspectives on her as both a Helsinki-based and international artist.

The gallery’s first exhibition presents the diverse forms of expression and shared artistic projects of the Jansson family of artists. Photographs also provide a glimpse into the family’s leisure time. The home’s atmosphere, close relationships and shared family adventures were later reflected in the Moomin stories that launched Tove Jansson to international fame.

The Artist Family Jansson exhibition commemorates the book Comet in Moominland, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2026.
