Week 37: A Journey Back in Time at the Estonian Open Air Museum

Today I ventured to the Estonian Open Air Museum, a fascinating place just 8km from Tallinn’s Old Town that’s easily accessible by bus. 🚌

This museum is like a small village, and I spent nearly four hours exploring! It’s an incredible look at Estonian rural life and nature, showcasing what farm life was like from 200 years ago right up to the modern era.

The Animals of the Museum 🐰

After seeing some of the cute animals on the farm, they also showed how they were prepared for meals! 😄

The rabbits here are surprisingly big—about the size of two of my heads! 🤯
