Museum Friday is a series of activities supporting the learning of the Estonian language for adults whose mother tongue is not Estonian.  As part of the series, we will visit various museums in Tallinn (e.g. the bastion passages and the Carved Stone Museum, the Adamson-Eric Museum, the Kalamaja Museum, and the Great Guild Hall of the Estonian History Museum), including a tour with a museum pedagogue in Estonian. After the tour, the participants can explore the museum on their own.

Museum Friday takes place once a month on Fridays: 27 January, 17 February, 24 March, and 21 April.

This time, we will visit the exposition of the bastion passages Time Travel. Tallinn 1219–2219. We will find out when the mysterious passages with the bastions were built, what their purpose was, and how the bastion passages have been used at different times. We will also visit the City of Ruins exhibition of the Carved Stone Museum located in the bastion passage, which consists of more than two hundred carved stones and fragments. We will pass through four rooms: the ‘Garden of Eden’, ‘Pillar Hall’, ‘Death Hall’, and ‘Sun Hall’.

Participants can practice listening (listening to the museum pedagogue), speaking (asking questions from the museum pedagogue), and reading (independently exploring the museum display), as well as increase their cultural and historical awareness in Estonian.
