On the morning of February 24th, we will open Vabamu in the early hours, so that you can come directly after the National Flag Hoisting Ceremony to our museum to get to know and feel Estonian people`s stories. This year, in addition to our permanent exhibition “Freedom Without Borders”, it is possible to visit the temporary exhibition “Defending Freedom: Estonian Civil Society in the Russo-Ukrainian War” and participate in guided tours excursions and workshops.
