Museum Friday is a series of activities supporting the learning of the Estonian language for adults whose mother tongue is not Estonian.  As part of the series, we will visit various museums in Tallinn (e.g. the bastion passages and the Carved Stone Museum, the Adamson-Eric Museum, the Kalamaja Museum, and the Great Guild Hall of the Estonian History Museum), including a tour with a museum pedagogue in Estonian. After the tour, the participants can explore the museum on their own.

Museum Friday takes place once a month on Fridays: 27 January, 17 February, 24 March, and 21 April.

The Great Guild of Tallinn, whose members were the most powerful and richest merchants in the city, was founded around 1325. In 1417, a building with a high gable roof was completed in late Gothic style. The Great Guild Hall has had many functions: besides being a place for hosting the events of the merchants who were members of the Great Guild, it was also the starting and ending point of processions. In addition, weddings, religious services, theatre performances, and court hearings were held in the hall. Since 1872, the hall was at the disposal of the Tallinn Stock Exchange Committee. A wine cellar operated in the hall as early as in the Middle Ages. In 1896, the first film screening in Estonia took place in the Great Guild Hall.

Participants can practice listening (listening to the museum pedagogue), speaking (asking questions from the museum pedagogue), and reading (independently exploring the museum display), as well as increase their cultural and historical awareness in Estonian.
