18 May 2010 - 2 January 2011
Brief introduction: This exhibition provides a look at how vowels are formed and how words are translated into sign language. How has Estonian changed over time? What did the language spoken by Estonians in different areas sound like? Visitors can also become familiar with the means used in different eras for making language visible and audible. Everyone can try to assemble words themselves and play with language in other ways.
This extremely interactive and innovative exhibition will run until the end of the year.

“Estonian cartography” Curated by Leida Lepik.
7 May – 6 September 2010
The exhibition features Estonian maps from the first Estonian language maps to the best of the maps published in the last 150 years. We will introduce mapmaking techniques and technologies from different eras. All visitors will be able to make their own maps, print out maps of their own hometown or homestead or try their hand at historical techniques.
The exhibition is dedicated to the godfather of Estonian cartographers, the late Lev Vassiljev, who was born 90 years ago.
