ERM Heimtali Museum

The Heimtali Museum of the Estonian National Museum (ERM) is in Heimtali village, Viljandi County, in a 19th-century village schoolhouse built of fieldstone. The permanent exhibition presents school life of the past, tools collected from the surrounding area and local craft traditions. A special part is the national textile collection; changing exhibitions focus on handicrafts, history and art. The children's playroom has animals inspired by mitten patterns. The museum also offers workshops and guided visits by advance booking, with conditions that differ from the standard exhibition ticket.
