In books and comics written by the Finnish author Tove Jansson, and in many animations, plays, and even ballets based on them, the brisk and curious Moomintroll and his friends go on great adventures. How and why did Tove invent the character, and how did Moomintroll become the way we know him? Join Minna Honkasalo, who works at the world’s only Moomin Museum, as she tells the story of how Moomintroll was born via livestream.
