1. Moomin Shops in Finland

Let’s start with the land of the creator of the Moomins, Tove Jansson’s home country, Finland. The original Moomin Shop was opened in 1999 in Kämp Galleria in a cosy space of only 11 square metres. This shop no longer exists, but over the years, new locations and grander spaces have opened in Helsinki and Turku.

🌟 A secret tip! As you enter the store and dive into the world of The Moomins and the Great Flood, pay attention to the details around the store – there are plenty of references to the book! How well do you know first ever Moomin story?
