The Museum of Central Finland for families with children
The permanent exhibition of the Museum of Central Finland offers also the little ones in the family a chance to explore Central Finland. In the exhibition one can create one’s own cave painting using modern technology, meet a mythical bear, and immerse oneself in old-time life by examining objects and listening to stories. And how would it feel to step into a smoke sauna, stop by a market, sit down at an elementary school desk or jump behind the wheel of a rally car? And what does a trip, led by young Alvar Aalto, to Jyväskylä of more than a hundred years ago look like?
It is possible to get to know the Exploring Central Finland exhibition with the help of fun picture scavenger hunts. You can ask for one at the museum’s information desk.
Activity Corner Nappula
Located on the second floor of the museum, the Activity Corner Nappula offers things also for the little ones of the family to do on their own while visiting the exhibitions. One can, for instance, play old-time board games, play with old toys, and make, for example, a spinning button toy to take home. In Nappula, there are also often guided workshops which are suitable for the whole family.
Regional bunny Wolmar
Wolmar, the mascot of the Museum of Central Finland, guides the little ones of the family to the secrets of Central Finland. Can you find Wolmar’s very own comic hidden in a dusky side passage of the museum. Wolmar is also present at certain events – please follow the museum’s website!
