This Saturday, museums across Estonia open their doors for Museum Night/Muuseumiöö — a celebration of culture, stories, experiences, and discovery.

This year’s theme, “There Are Voices in the Night”, invites visitors to explore museums through sound, stories, memories, and perspectives.

Whether you visit your favourite museum or discover a new one, we highly recommend taking part in this special evening and exploring the programme happening across Estonia.

Let us know in the comments where did you go and how it went!

Something exciting has just been completed at PROTO avastustehas/Proto Invention Factory!

We’ve officially finished the final touches on the upgraded 2nd floor, featuring 12 brand-new exhibits alongside the experiences you already know and love. The new exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the inventions that changed the world and stood the test of time — from the steam engine and early motion pictures to matches, the light bulb, and the very first bicycle.

Each exhibit opens a window into the ideas and breakthroughs that continue to shape our everyday lives today.

🚀 The new exhibits officially opened on May 5th, and visitors have already been exploring them for the past few days. If you haven’t stopped by yet, now’s the perfect time to come discover, experiment, and get inspired.

See you at PROTO!

🐑 Better late than never — last spring marked the opening of something truly special.

We had the privilege to contribute to the MUHK / Eesti Põllumajandusmuuseum, where rural life is brought to life through immersive experiences, technology, and storytelling. It’s not your typical museum, but a dynamic, hands-on environment where visitors can explore modern agriculture, meet farm animals, and experience thought-provoking exhibition “Symphony in the Barn.”

Our role in this project focused on production and graphic design, helping shape how stories are experienced throughout the space.

A sincere thank you to our client, Maaelu Uudishimukeskus (formerly known as Eesti Põllumajandusmuuseum), for the trust and collaboration — and to all our partners who helped make this project a reality. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when strong ideas meet dedicated teams.

📍Liis Lehesalu who is our Head of Sales and Marketing went to Paris at the end of March! Were she had the chance to attend SITEM 30th edition of the International Exhibition of Museums, Monuments & Cultural Tourism — one of the key meeting points for professionals in museums, heritage, and cultural tourism.

It was a great opportunity to connect with inspiring design studios such as Studio Gang, épatant, GSM Studios and La bande à Paul. Many thanks for the fruitful discussions Etienne Villotte, Sébastien Durandière, Kariane Jeaurond, Ana Flor, Fabien Lasserre and Martin Imbeault.

As part of the SITEM side program, she also had the opportunity to visit the Serge Gainsbourg Museum — a place that has up to a 6-month waiting list. „It was an emotional experience, greatly enhanced by the audio guide solution.“

Sneak peek from the north 👀

We just wrapped up an intense 1.5 weeks in Oulu, where we’ve been building something special — the upcoming exhibition Metallikausi.

This one dives deep into the dark, cold undercurrent of Finnish metal music — a globally recognized phenomenon that grew out of the northern landscapes, shaped by ice, darkness and melancholia since the 1980s.

Metallikausi will open in October as part of the newly renovated Tietomaa Science Centre, and it’s only one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Alongside it, we’re also bringing to life two more exhibitions: On Animal Trails and Aurora Revelare.

All three exhibitions are part of the program for Oulu – European Capital of Culture 2026, so expect something bold, immersive and very northern.

Here’s a tiny (and yes… slightly questionable) behind-the-scenes glimpse from the build.👇
More soon.
