Stories about Kalamaja\u201d speaks of the life of the area through six personas characteristic to Kalamaja: a man of Kalamaja, a child of Kalamaja, a parent of Kalamaja, a life artist of Kalamaja and an animal of Kalamaja. These characters are a summary of different times and eras and tell the story from the Middle Ages to today. Walking through the museum will open the stories of the houses of the area together with the local people: the visitor is welcomed in the cellar, corridor, garage, living room, but you can find exhibitions in the toilet as well. Young visitors can play in the dollhouse that depicts the Tallinn-type house in the family area of the museum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the museum you will find a gallery where locals and others can form their ideas into exhibitions or present interesting collections to wider audiences.<\/p>\n<p>The museum is big on its contents, but small in cubic meters. Therefore you can often see our exhibitions also on the streets of the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many thanks to all the people of Kalamaja who helped to create the museum!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curators:<\/strong>\u00a0Kristi Paatsi, Tuuli Silber, Laura Jamsja<\/p>\n<p><strong>Space design:<\/strong>\u00a0Ruumilabor O\u00dc<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic design:<\/strong>\u00a0Refleks O\u00dc<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition solutions<\/strong>: HN Steel, Argo M\u00e4nnik, Krista Norden, Riksen O\u00dc<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS<\/h3>\n<div class=\"postlist withthumb\"><span class=\"thumbmagic\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/en\/kalamaja-en\/naitus-kopli-maagiline-realism\/\" title=\"Exhibition &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;THE MAGICAL REALISM OF KOPLI&quot;&lt;BR&gt;at Kalamaja museum&lt;\/b&gt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Kopli-Miami-Beach-400x533.jpeg\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Exhibition &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;THE MAGICAL REALISM OF KOPLI&quot;&lt;BR&gt;at Kalamaja museum&lt;\/b&gt;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Kopli-Miami-Beach-400x533.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Kopli-Miami-Beach.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/span><div class=\"lcp-container\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/en\/kalamaja-en\/naitus-kopli-maagiline-realism\/\">Exhibition <br><b>&#8220;THE MAGICAL REALISM OF KOPLI&#8221;<BR>at Kalamaja museum<\/b><\/a><\/h4>  <p class=\"lcp_excerpt\">The exhibition reveals the peculiarities and special observations of one of Tallinn's suburbs, both today and from the past.<\/p><div class=\"morelink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/en\/kalamaja-en\/naitus-kopli-maagiline-realism\/\">MORE...<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"postlist withthumb\"><span class=\"thumbmagic\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linnamuuseum.ee\/en\/kalamaja-en\/in-september-kalamaja-museum-opens-the-exhibition-a-trip-to-the-land-of-the-green-sun-the-story-of-a-kalamaja-family\/\" title=\"&lt;b&gt;Kalamaja Museum new exhibition \u2018Journey to the Land of the Green Sun.
