Finland: Moomin World

On Wednesday I received a great postcard from Finland.

The card shows the Moomin House in the Moomin World. The Moomin World in Naantali is a Moomin Theme Park based on the books of Tove Jansson. The Moomin House was built in 1993 and is the main attraction, but visitors are also able to visited Moominmamma's kitchen, Moominpappa's boat and other things and can meet the Moomin characters. Moomin World is open daily from mid-June to mid-August. According to the "The Independent on Sunday" the Moomin World is the world's fourth best theme park for children.


With nice matching stamp:
100th birthday of Tove Jansson (from set of two) (issued 31-01-2014)
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is a Finland Swedish writer, illustrator and comic strip author. She wrote and illustrated the Moomins. The stamp shows a silhouette of Sniff.
The stamp was cancelled before the First Day of Issue.


On the card is also a nice Moomin sticker showing Little My.


Thank You very much Raili!
