  • New permanent exhibition ‘Every little step counts’!

    Make sure to visit the new family-friendly permanent exhibition ‘Every little step counts’ at the Estonian Open Air Museum.

    This exhibition intended for family exploration features games and activities through which children can learn what life on a farm was like in the old days and provokes discussion on whether we can learn something from our ancestors and what it could be.

    In addition, here you can see the animals traditionally kept on Estonian farms.
