On Tallinn’s fastest-developing seaside promenade in Noblessner, construction of the Nature House is progressing rapidly. Estonia’s largest wooden building is being built in Tallinn, in Kalamaja, right next to the Seaplane Harbour, and its main user will be the Estonian Museum of Natural History.
In addition to the museum, the completed building will provide new and modern premises for organisations who work under the Ministry of Climate, forming Estonia’s centre of competence for environmental education. The Estonian Museum of Natural History will serve as the backbone that, through its location across all three building volumes, connects the institutions and functions within the complex.
The new core exhibition, “The Art of Coexistence,” tells the story of the relationship between nature and humans through the lens of Estonia’s natural environment. The exhibition explains and interprets the richness of relationships and connections in nature, as well as the ingenuity and adaptability of its diverse forms of coexistence. It reveals the hidden side of nature that usually remains behind the scenes and out of reach.
The first temporary exhibition in the new museum building confronts visitors with extreme weather events, climate change, and possible future scenarios. It will be one of the first exhibitions in Estonia to offer such a broad insight into the climate world of the future. The new exhibition will also be the museum’s most participatory one so far.
The new museum, with its 200,000 visitors per year and attractive location, will be a valued partner for organisations. We have already begun developing support projects for the new building and are open to cooperation and inquiries.
