Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum / Estonian Open Air Museum

**Alex**

Today was a pretty day so the family headed over to the The Estonian Open Air Museum (Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum) to enjoy a nice walk in the sunshine. Still being it's the winter season at the museum, the exhibits were all closed, but the ticket price was only 50 EEK for the whole family. We've been there many times before, so it didn't matter to us.

The museum is a must see for anyone coming to visit Estonia. For more info click here: http://www.evm.ee/id/2/

A bit from their website:

Come and get acquainted with the Estonian 18—20th century vernacular architecture and rural milieu in a beautiful forest park of 80 hectares on the coast of the Bay of Kopli.

The twelve exhibit farmyards offer a wonderful review of the old-time life of households of different wealth and subsistence. Just like in a proper village, here is a church (1699), an inn, a schoolhouse, several mills, a fire station and net sheds by the sea – altogether 72 buildings.

Here are some pics I snapped as we walked around today.

All images shot with my Canon Powershot A710is.
