Jüri-Jaagu rental farmstead from Muhu Island, early 20th century.

The summer kitchen/bathhouse/root cellar was brought from Pärdi farm in Mälja village. Built in 1906 and relocated to the museum in 1973, the stone building in the so-called Muhu style is an example of the craftsmanship of local stonemasons, who between 1890 and 1940 earned their living by constructing stone buildings on the islands and mainland.

Buildings made by Muhu stonemasons are distinguished by precise masonry and an interesting selection of stones. Particularly valued was the so-called “blue stone” – dark grey cobblestones with a bluish tint. The choice of stone as a building material on Muhu was inevitable: stone was widely available, while timber was scarce.

Tallinn

Country/Region: Estonia
Tallinn

Tallinn is located on the shore of the Baltic Sea and is the capital of Estonia. Here, medieval silhouettes meet Baltic light and clean Nordic design. Red-tiled spires rise above cobbled streets, while old shipyards and factories now house cafés, studios, and murals. In summer, the sun stays long and golden; in winter, the air turns blue and every shadow feels cinematic. For photographers, the city spans centuries, from the 12th century to modern skyscrapers.
