Actually we have two Moomin attractions here in Finland:

- theme park Moominworld, 
http://www.muumimaailma.fi/englanti/index.html, in Naantali

- museum Moominvalley, http://www.tampere.fi/muumi/english/index.htm, in 
Tampere where I live

For sure, Tove Jansson's artistic career comprised not only the 
Moomins - she created a great number of novels and paintings too. In 
2002 we had a fabulous exhibition of the latter in Tampere Art Museum.
