Permanent Exhibition of the Agricultural Museum
The Agricultural Museum’s exhibition is spread across several buildings, as well as an outdoor area. There are six large thematic exhibitions in total. Each of them provides insights into different sectors of agriculture.
The “Agriculture and Rural Development Through the Ages” exhibition explores the development of the sector from ancient times to the present day. The “Poultry Farming in Estonia” hall offers insights into bird breeding farms. In the barn, visitors can see both agricultural and domestic animals.
An entire hall of the museum is dedicated to beekeeping and honey production. In one of the hangars, visitors can view antique machinery. Outdoors, cargo trucks, tractors, and combines used in agriculture during the collective farm era are on display.
