On the morning of 24 February, Vabamu will open in the early hours, so you can come directly after the National Flag Hoisting Ceremony into the heart of the stories of the Estonian people. In addition to our permanent exhibition \u201cFreedom Without Borders\u201d<\/em>, you can this year also visit the new temporary exhibition \u201cEstonia Worldwide\u201d<\/em> and take part in guided tours and workshops. You can also capture the festive day with the help of a free photo wall.<\/p>\n

As part of the new exhibition \u201cEstonia Worldwide\u201d<\/em>, we will display a world map where visitors can mark the places they have travelled to far from home or where their relatives live, because Estonia also exists beyond our national borders.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, the caf\u00e9 will be open, offering festive salads and cakes. Alongside enjoying food, you can also play various Estonia-themed board games.<\/p>\n
