Tales From Moomin Valley - Adults only! 15 Special Event

Monday 20th November, 8.30pm (T)

Tove Jansson is one of Finland’s most well known writers, not only for her prolific creation of Tales From Moomin Valley but also for her novels and short stories for adults. When we were researching her Moomin stories we came across the rumour that not unlike animations like The Simpsons and Futurama today, Tales From Moomin Valley was laden with adult jokes and themes.

To discover more we’ve invited the deputy director of the Finnish Art Museum in Tampere, Finland, Elina Bonelius MA to present the fact behind the fiction. This is your chance to uncover what we were missing when we were kids and to find out a little more about the woman behind the work. The event includes the screening, a presentation and discussion and FREE glass of wine! Don’t miss it!!
