About Museum:
The Estonian Open Air was founded in 1957 and opened to the visitors
in 1964.
Old Estonian vernacular buildings together with exhibited commodities
help to depict the daily life of peasants in the 18-20th centuries.
The territory of the museum is divided into four parts of corresponding
typical village types: Western Estonia, Northern Estonia, Southern Estonia
and the islands. In each region farmyards of different wealth and age
stand in the central position. There are twelve farmyards exhibited
today. In order to create a true rural milieu, a church, an inn, a schoolhouse,
several mills, a fire station and netsheds on the coast have also been
transferred to the museum.
The museum
attempts to give a complete picture of the Estonian village. Different
activities and celebrating traditional calendar holidays bring more
life to the farmyards and add a special touch to the village atmosphere.
One can have a good time and find a grain of wisdom here at any time
of year. Duration –1.5 hours. It is possible to arrange lunch
in Estonian countryside-style.
