Lake Museum

The Lake Museum is a museum and learning centre of the Estonian University of Life Sciences on the shore of Lake Võrtsjärv in Vehendi village, devoted to freshwater life. The exhibition centres on aquariums with local and exotic fish, along with displays on Võrtsjärv, fishing, aquatic plants, birds, ancient fish and fish fossils. Visitors can use interactive fish identification guides and a VR experience, and there is a play area for children. Its location at the Limnology Centre links what you see indoors directly with Võrtsjärv’s nature and the setting of lake research.
