An exhibition of children’s “feeling fellows” (imaginary creatures representing emotions and feelings) is open in the corridor gallery of the children’s museum Miiamilla. The exhibition gives a vibrant overview of the six primary emotions that the children themselves have drawn.

CHILDREN’S PRIMARY EMOTION ART EXHIBITION

The exhibition of children’s drawings gives a rich overview of the emotions the children drew and what colours and techniques they used. A total of 93 children, ages 4-11 years old, drew their emotions. 27 of the 121 pictures that were sent to the museum were put on display. All the other drawings can be seen in the museum’s art album. The exhibition is open in the children’s museum corridor gallery during the museum’s open hours.

Six of the most unique feeling fellows will be chosen from the pictures that were submitted and a theatre artist will make real touchable creatures of them. These creatures are part of the new exposition and will be staying in the big inner world closet, in the feeling fellow caves.

NB! Everyone who also wishes to draw their feeling fellows and contribute to Miiamilla’s new exhibition can bring their drawings to the children’s museum or send it by mail: Koidula 21c, Tallinn.

A NEW KIND OF EXPOSITION OPENS THE WORLD OF CHILDREN’S EMOTIONS

The permanent exposition is divided into three topics – children’s inner world, outer world and creative space. The inner world is created by the pictures that the kids send in and focuses on six primary emotions: SADNESS, JOY, SURPRISE, DISGUST, ANGER and FEAR. Emotions play a big role in how we experience our surroundings, react to different situations and how we act. All emotions are equally important and it is important to notice them. If we know how to give a name to our emotions then we can comprehend and understand what they are trying to tell us. The opening of the children’s museum with the new exhibitions is planned to take place in the starting months of the new year.
