Exhibition Centre WeeGee brings EMMA's modern and contemporary art, KAMU's Espoo city history museum, the Mauri Kunnas exhibition, and the summer-season Futuro House under one roof. Futuro is a 1960s space-age plastic house designed by architect Matti Suuronen, standing in WeeGee's yard. At EMMA, families can move through collection displays and changing art exhibitions; the galleries include child-friendly pit-stops for pausing, creating, and experimenting together. At KAMU, the focus is Espoo history, with the long-running Feel the Noise - Rock and Youth Culture in Espoo exhibition covering local music and youth culture. The Mauri Kunnas exhibition is WeeGee's clearest picture-book and play-oriented part, where children can explore Kunnas's worlds.

- Accessibility
- Official accessibility information says the route to WeeGee's main entrance is flat and hard-surfaced, the left-hand main doors open automatically, and the building has spacious lifts and accessible toilets. WeeGee has a childcare room, baby-changing tables, and strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers to borrow. EMMA's exhibition floors are threshold-free, but the concrete museum space can be noisy; staff can be asked for earplugs or a quiet room. KAMU's outward-opening exhibition door may require assistance for a wheelchair user.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- WeeGee is large enough that, with children, it often works better to choose one or two parts in advance instead of trying to see everything in one visit. Ticket sales and customer service are in the main lobby. Own snacks can be eaten in the basement-level facilities, but food and drink are not allowed in the lobby, cafe, or galleries. Large backpacks, wet clothing, umbrellas, water bottles, and bike helmets should be left in the free lockers or self-service cloakroom, and strollers can be borrowed from the lobby.
- Opening-hours notes
- WeeGee's official normal opening hours: Monday closed, Tue, Sat, and Sun 11:00-17:00, and Wed-Fri 11:00-19:00. From January to May and September to December, WeeGee stays open until 21:00 on the first Friday of the month. Ticket sales and entry end 30 minutes before closing; check exceptional opening hours, exhibition changes, and event-specific times before going.
- Booking notes
- A normal museum visit does not require booking. Tickets can be bought from WeeGee customer service, and KAMU's instructions also point to advance tickets through Lippu.fi. Groups, guided tours, workshops, camps, and birthdays are booked separately following the museums' instructions.
- Price notes
- The WeeGee ticket covers EMMA and KAMU exhibitions, the Mauri Kunnas exhibition, and the Futuro House when it is open in summer. Admission for adults over 29 is 20 EUR, discounted admission is 10 EUR, and under-18s enter free. The Museum Card is accepted, and admission is free for everyone on Fridays from 15:00 to 19:00 and on separately listed free-admission days.
- Age notes
- The visit can work for a wide age range, but the best fit depends on which part you choose: for younger children, the Mauri Kunnas exhibition and EMMA's pit-stops are the clearest hooks; for primary-school children, a short EMMA or KAMU round works well; older children and teens may get more from the art, design, and KAMU youth-culture theme. Children under 12 visit with an adult.
- Seasonal notes
- As an indoor museum destination, WeeGee works year-round. The Futuro House is open during the summer season, and the Children's Museum Festival, camps, workshops, guided tours, and other family programmes vary by season in the event calendar.
- Weather notes
- A good option for rainy, cold, and windy days because the museum visit itself is indoors.
