This summer, the Brooklyn Public Library will showcase "Tove Jansson and the Moomins: The Door is Always Open," the first exhibition of its kind in the U.S. The exhibit celebrates the life and works of Finnish author Tove Jansson, famed for her Moomins, with immersive installations in Moominvalley. Opening on June 28, it features a timeline of Moomin's history, archival materials, and rare artifacts related to adaptations. Highlighting themes of adventure and family resilience amidst challenges, the exhibit underscores the values of storytelling and inclusivity shared by both Jansson and the library.
Jansson's work aligns closely with our mission to foster understanding, curiosity and the importance of storytelling, especially in accessible, public forums.
Brooklyn Public Library's values - curiosity, inclusion, storytelling, and free access to ideas - align beautifully with Tove's.
