On the Lasten Merkki tour, the museum introduces media history and communication themes from a child's point of view. The tour asks what news is, how freedom of speech affects everyday life, and how reliable information and fake news can be recognised. Families can combine the tour with a self-guided museum visit, including the child-focused Joy of Reading area.
