When producing the exhibition for the Estonian Museum of Natural History, a significant aspect was the commitment to finding sustainable production methods that are compatible with the theme of the exhibition itself.
While a difficult topic at first, the solutions it made us come up with really showed us that anything is possible when you start to look at things in a different way.
That meant reusing materials whenever possible and trying to find something new from limited resources. Often that required some out-of-the-box thinking to start seeing items in a new way. We ended up using recycled car tires to craft seating and tables, using Euro pallets as sofas and turning many old exhibition displays into something new.
A special exhibit to bring out is The Happiness Park Department Store, that offers a playful shopping experience with electronic controls. Visitors can curate their own park by selecting different natural elements combining them with man-made items, learning about the urban biodiversity in the process.
A visitor centre that focuses on a legendary engineering masterpiece in Georgia.
A temporary exhibition "Small Ships, Great Masters" that will showcase 26 masterful ship models from talented Estonian model makers.
