Reserve a group visit or guided tour

Groups can explore the museum on their own or reserve an introduction or guided tour.

Please always inform us about your group visit in advance, so that we are able to avoid crowding in the museum. We can also occasionally be flexible about our opening hours and receive a group outside the official opening hours.

Let us know in advance if you are arriving as a group

You are welcome to familiarize yourself with our exhibitions independently, but please inform us about your arrival in advance ([email protected], tel. +358 295 418 325). This way we can avoid overcrowding and make everyone’s museum visit better.

Order a guided tour or introduction

We only offer guided tours in Finnish. However, we will happily offer English and Swedish-speaking adult groups brief introductions to the museum in their own language, as long as the introduction is booked in advance. These short introductions are free of charge.

If your group has an interpreter of its own or if, for example, the group leader can interpret what our guide is saying, a guided tour is also possible in languages other than Finnish, both for adults and children. Guided tours are chargeable.

We organize guided tours for groups on weekdays. We plan our guided tours with the target audience in mind: a tour offered to kindergarten children is, of course, different than one offered to adults. A guided tour usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Groups receiving a guided tour can include up to 25 persons, so that all participants hear and see well, and also to ensure that the tour is a pleasant experience in other ways. We recommend a minimum age of five years to our tour participants. You can find more information on guided tours for children in the section Visiting the museum with children.

Payments are accepted via bank and credit card or in cash (exact change only). We recommend paying by card. Companies, associations and actors in the public administration can also pay by invoice.
