Fukuoka City Museum is hosting a special exhibition, “Tove and Moomin Exhibition – Searching for Treasured Things -,” and to celebrate, a collaboration menu has been created. From July 4 to August 30, 2026, visitors can enjoy exclusive dishes at the museum’s restaurant and cafe.
About the Exhibition
The creator of the Moomin world, Tove Jansson (1914–2001), was a painter, caricaturist, comic artist, picture book author, and novelist. The special exhibition “Tove and Moomin Exhibition – Searching for Treasured Things -” presents around 300 works, including early oil paintings, political cartoons from before and after World War II, original drawings from the Moomin novels and comics, and sketches, offering a retrospective of Tove’s life and creative world.
