An embroidery course begins at the Wittenstein Activity Museum
The year 2024 has been declared the year of folk costumes by the Estonian Folk Art and Handicraft Union. Since 2005, the theme of the year has been chosen to introduce a wider and deeper field of handicrafts. In the framework of this, thematic study days, competitions and exhibitions are organized and specialist literature is published. The theme of the years 2024 and 2025 is squared in folk dress. This year’s theme baton has been handed over to the folk costume for two years. The theme of the year, National costume squared, means that the theme of national costume is highlighted in an amplified way, with soul and depth. There are two years, so there are more activities within them than before – double, multiplied, squared.
In the autumn season, an embroidery course will start in the clothing part of the exhibition of the Wittenstein Activity Museum (Paide linn, Tallinna Street 9/11). During the course under the supervision of Kadi Vingisaar, master of folk costume and master of creative applications of cultural heritage of UT VKA and consultant of the Järvamaa folk costume advisory board, you can make embroidery for the sleeves, shirts, tanus, linings or aprons of folk costumes.
The course takes place on four Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (14.09.2024; 05.10.2024; 16.11.2024 and 07.12.2024).
The price of one meeting is €35. The price of materials is added.

The War Museum on Wheels reaches the heart of Estonia
On August 9 (Friday), starting at 14:00, the traveling exhibition “Military Museum on Wheels” prepared by the Estonian Military Museum will be opened in the yard of the Wittenstein Activity Museum in Paide (Tallinn street 9 and 11). It is a traveling exhibition that provides an overview of the military history of Estonia in the 20th century, dealing with World War I, the War of Independence, Estonian national defense in the period between the wars, World War II and the defense forces after the restoration of independence. The traveling exhibition is located in a specially adapted sea container. The outer surface is covered by text and images, the contents of the container are entirely owned by the objects. The showcases are filled with uniforms, weapons, equipment and models of military equipment.
“The idea of the traveling exhibition is that you don’t necessarily have to travel far to come to the museum, but the museum itself can come to visit,” said Hellar Lill, director of the Estonian War Museum. According to him, the military museum on wheels is a kind of continuation of the very successful armored train No. 7 “Wabadus”, which traveled along Estonian and even Latvian railways in 2019. “Due to our history, the whole of Estonia is a kind of big war museum,” said Lill and added: “With the exhibition, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of history as well as the will to be ready to defend Estonia if necessary.”
At the opening of the exhibition, Hellar Lill, head of the Estonian War Museum, and Kuido Pettai, head of the Defense League Järva Maleva, will speak. Visiting the exhibition is free. The exhibition is open during the opening hours of the Wittenstein Action Museum (Mon-Fri) from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The exhibition will remain open until August 15.
Completion of the traveling exhibition was co-financed from the “Museum Accelerator 2023” application round of the Heritage Protection Board.
