The newly renovated, magnificent maritime museum Lennusadam, or Seaplane Harbour, invites everyone to explore a new exhibition that tells the story of the great explorations and famous sea voyages of maritime history.

The exhibition delves into Tartu’s medieval past, presenting the origins of the city, and the lives of its early inhabitants. It features city models, including the first ever virtual reconstruction of 13th-century Tartu. Visitors will also be able to see archaeological finds, and an exact copy of the oldest surviving city model, from 1686.

 

6 Mar–20 Apr The Wild photo exhibition, Pärnu

“Alone we are trees, but together we are a forest,” the late Estonian President and folklorist Lennart Meri once said. Three photographers, Hendrik Relve, Kaupo Kikkas, and Mark Soosaar reflect on trees, forests and people’s relationships with them in their photographs. The authors have recorded trees, forests, and boulevards over the decades, and some of the photographed objects no longer even exist. The photographic exhibition Metslased (English: The Wild) is on display at the Pärnu’s Museum of New Art.

 

13 Mar–5 Apr Ebrahim Bakhshayesh’s miniature exhibition, Tartu

The delightful miniature models of Iranian-born craftsman and artist Ebrahim Bakhshayesh have now been collected for an exhibition. The miniature models are on display at the R-gallery of the Karud ja Pojad atelier. The exhibition features realistic models of famous houses in Tartu and Tallinn, and each model has been meticulously crafted to convey the essence and atmosphere of the place.
