Each museum explores a different topic, according to its field.
At the Estonian Road Museum, you can experience the invention and ingenuity of road workshops and private garages. The garage culture, repairing, and home-built vehicles still have a strong presence all over Estonia.
Estonian Agricultural Museum will inspire you with horticulture and gardens, applied textiles, food preservation methods and home-built agricultural machinery. It’s highly likely that in 2024, we’ll be sticking our fingers into the soil to grow foods.
Tartu City Museum shows you what it was like living in deprivation during the Soviet era. If what was needed was not available, people had to take the old and turn it into something new, or at least pimp it up a little bit. They made their own clothes, cosmetics, hobby equipment, and even household appliances. The City Museum has collected these stories and self-made items. Come and get clever ideas for reusing and upcycling!
You’ll also have the chance to get involved in the educational and public programme and participate in an international scientific conference. DIY needs discussion and advocacy.
