Explore the works of Tove Jansson at the first-ever U.S. exhibition dedicated to the beloved Finnish artist, writer, and creator of the Moomins, held at the Brooklyn Public Library this summer.
On view from June 28 through September 30, Tove Jansson and the Moomins: The Door Is Always Open will offer attendees the rare opportunity to step into Jansson’s creative universe through immersive installations, archival materials, rare artifacts, multilingual editions of her books, and public programming for all ages. The exhibition will also introduce visitors to lesser-known aspects of Jansson’s life, including her early career in political satire and her identity as a queer woman in postwar Europe.
