The joint pre-holiday market of Estonian museum shops will take place this year on Saturday, December 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Stalker hall of Kultuurikatel.

The new location promises to involve a larger number of participants and gives the opportunity to offer visitors a program that lasts all day. At the same time, the traditional Christmas sale of the Tallinn Book Fair will take place at Kultuurikatel. Throughout the day, a program will be held in the event hall.
