The museum’s collections include speeches and talks given by and to Gallen-Kallela, aphorisms and ideas noted by the artist, poems, writings, reviews, notes and plans for books, such as a manuscript for a book on Africa.

The archives also contain other interesting manuscripts for books, such Kirsti Gallen-Kallela’s Isäni Akseli Gallen-Kallela (My Father Akseli Gallen-Kallela), Akseli Amerikassa (Akseli in America) by Kaari Raivio and an unpublished manuscript by Annikki Toikka-Karvonen for a book on Akseli Gallen-Kallela.
