The People's Museum of Tallinn has opened a new exhibition called "Stories of a Young Capital: The Passionate Twenties," that explores the stories behind the formation of a young Estonian Republic, its people and its capital city.
In the 1920s, peace returned to Estonia following two wars, the collapse of the Russian Empire and the gaining of independence. Estonia experienced the start of a new era; it was a time of great change, innovation and Tallinn at that time was a city of sharp contrasts and high hopes.
Everyday life in the Estonian capital in the 1920s is brought to life in the exhibition through the stories of a dozen different characters, all of whom meet in the heart of the young capital.
Curated by Maaja Gundjajeva and Denis Jatsenko, "Stories of a Young Capital: The Passionate Twenties" will remain open at the People's Museum of Tallinn through to the end of 2026.
