ESTONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM

exhibition

Concept for Finno-Ugric exhibition, Estonian National Museum.

In October 2016, the new building of the Estonian National Museum opened in Tartu, dedicated to telling the story of Estonians and other Finno-Ugric peoples. The building stands on the end of an old Soviet runway and arches over tiny lakes — an unusual setting, but “the Estonian National Museum is not a usual sort of institution. Its past is wrapped up with that of the country itself.” For the museum to get its own purpose-designed building was a nearly 100-year dream in Estonia.
