Help keep the spirit of free Estonia alive
Vabamu’s mission is to support a free and independent Estonia by preserving its history and by engaging thoughtfully with its present and future. At Vabamu, we collect and record Estonia’s shared memories, create impactful exhibitions, develop educational programs, and build bridges across borders and generations.
We believe that a secure future depends on a deep understanding of the past. If you agree that tomorrow’s decisions must be grounded in yesterday’s lessons and experiences, we welcome you to support our work. Every donation helps our museum keep the story of freedom alive.
Thank you for supporting Vabamu and the future of a free and independent Estonia.
“Never Again!” This was my mother’s reason to found a museum documenting the Soviet and Nazi occupations. Vabamu’s purpose is to inspire, promote and preserve freedom, showcasing the resistance of the Estonian people to these repressions and the subsequent rise of a vibrant, free Estonia.

For me, freedom means the ability to be who you want to be.

Estonian World War II refugees and their descendants ensured that Estonia was never forgotten by the free world. Their hard work, dedication, and belief in freedom must be recorded in Estonian history.
