Estonian open-air ethnographic museum

The Estonian farmhouses are shown as they developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The three highlights of the museum are: a farm with all its outbuildings (all authentic pieces); the rectory from the village of Sutlepa and a school. The surrounding nature is unspoiled: not a piece of paper, not a cigarette butt on the ground. This respect for things, for cleanliness, is common to all the Baltic States
