Nightwish museum officially opens in Kitee!

[C.]

Great news for Nightwish fans seeking to make a pilgrimage to Finland someday: not only can you visit the city of Kitee (where Nightwish was born), but now you can also visit a Nightwish museum, created by Tuomas' mother with various "Nightwish memorabilia" collected over the years. You can see everything from old keyboards that Tuomas used on past tours to shoes he bought on tour!

Tuomas' mother came up with the idea when she went through the numerous boxes that she had stored away, and decided that these things pertaining to Nightwish history needed to be shared with fans.

Here are some photos from the museum opening:

Thanks to Tuomas Holopainen México and Nightwish Turkey for the link, photos, and information.

At risk of sounding sarcastic, is this a nightwish museum or a tuomas museum?

Well, the museum was founded by Tuomas' mother, so we can't fault her for having many things that belonged to him. If I recall correctly, there are some things like one of Anette's dresses (or shoes) in the museum as well, and other various things. So it's definitely a Nightwish museum.
