Estonian Christmas and a tradition that dates back 350 years

Christmas is one of the most import-ant holidays in

Estonia. It is a mixture of traditional and modern, of religious and non-religious. Due to the many occupa-tions of Estonia, Christmas celebrations in Estonia have been influenced by many different cultures.

Like in most of Northern Europe, Estonians cele-brate Christmas on Christmas Eve (24 December). In the folk calendar, Christmas began on St. Thomas’s Day (21 December) and lasted until Epiphany (6 January). Christmas holidays were celebrated from 25-27 December, with 24 December being the most important day.

The word jõulud (Christmas) comes from the word Jul, a word that has no connection to Christianity. Scandinavia and Estonia are the only areas in Europe where Christmas is still referred to by a pre-Christian word. The word näärid, of German origin, was also used to mark the holiday. It was the only official seasonal holiday during the Soviet period. Otherwise, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day were celebrated at the time and Christmas was celebrat-ed unofficially in the privacy of one’s home.

These days Santa brings gifts on the night of 24 December, a relatively new tradition that has become widely adopted. The Christmas tree is also a rather recent addition to Estonian Christmas symbols and came here through German culture in the mid 19th century. The tree was decorated very simply with toys and treats, then later candles.

Every year, on 24 December, the President of Estonia declares Christmas Peace. This is a 350-year-old tradition that began in the 17th century by the order of Queen Kristina of Sweden.

Traditional Estonian Christmas food includes pork with sauerkraut and blood sausage. There are many opportunities to try traditional Estonian Christmas food while visiting this December. Many restaurants have special Christmas menus on offer. And no visit to Estonia in winter is complete without a mug of glögg or mulled wine.

Happy Holidays!

December Highlights01 GINGERBREAD ART

The annual Tallinn Gingerbread Mania exhibit is a sure sign that Christmas is just around the corner. This year’s exhibit is called the Toy Museum. The exhibit runs from 18 December to 8 January at the Tallinn Design and Architecture Gallery (Pärnu mnt 6).

02 TAKE TO THE SLOPES!

Tallinn’s best tobogganing hill is without a doubt the long steep hill at the Song Festival Grounds. When there is lots of snow, part of the hill is also turned into a snowboard park with a lift.

03 GREEN CHRISTMAS ROCK

Rakvere will rock on 27 December at the Green Christmas event, which has been organized since 1996! The Christmas-themed rock festival brings together the best of the current Estonian bands. Find out more information on Facebook.

04 CHRISTMAS CITY TARTU

The Tartu Christmas Market runs from 5-7 December at the convention centre (Kreutzwaldi 60). Handicrafts, toys, clothes, jewellery, books, and much more will be available for sale. The Tartu Town Hall Square Christmas Market changes the city into a Christmas city from 30 November to 24 December.

05 ICE SKATING CHARM

In the heart of the Old Town is the Harju Street Skating rink. The best time to come is after dark and skate on the illuminated rink among the medieval buildings. Skates can be rented on-site. The rink is open from 10.00-22.00 daily.

Viewing Platforms

Kohtu Platform - offers one of the best views of the Old Town. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arms length. The red tiled roofs with white edges are cha-racteristic of Tallinn. Tallinn B1.

Patkul Platform - shows both a view of St Olaf’s Church, and part of the city wall. The church was even taller in medieval times and the tallest buil-ding in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angle. Tallinn B1.

Kiriku Platform - the platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view of splendid and roman-

tic sunsets. Tallinn B1.

Raekoja plats

Tallinn’s Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s.

Tallinn Old Town H 1-2.

Blink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Püha Katariina klooster) is the oldest buil-ding in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinn’s first Italian restaurants. Tallinn Old Town H 2-3.

The Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original loca-tion, in the Town Hall Square. Tallinn Old Town H1.

The Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify independence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Rii-gikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn B1.

The Kiek in de Kök tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kök means, “look into the kitchen”

in Low German, as this was one of the main things soldiers spent their time doing while on the lookout for intruders. Kiek in de Kök dates back to the 15th century. The tower is 38 metres tall, and the walls are four metres thick.Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn B1.

Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town beneath, but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of Toompea Hill, and the upper town. The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inhabi-ted by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea, was inhabited by nobility. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town E2.

A fascinating museum about Soviet his-tory in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB surveillance. The rooms were equipped with micropho-nes, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests.

The museum is only accessible by gui-ded tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian. English tours fill up quickly so bookings are recommended. Viru väljak 4, Tallinn B2.

Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortification tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diameter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea.

Sometimes you just don’t have enough time to see everything, but on the Tallinn City Tour you just might. Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour operates in ten different languages and is guided by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights. One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day. If you purchase a 24-hour Tallinn Card then your journey on the Tallinn City Tour is free.

A quick history of the city of Tallinn

Outside of the Old Town

Kalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. Since the 14th cen-tury, Kalamaja has served as Tallinn’s main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories opened. The colourful wooden hous-es you still see today were built in the 1920s and 1930s to house the grow-ing working population. Kalamaja has seen a revival over the last few years as artists and other bohemian types moved in for the large spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants and cafés began to open, and the area con-tinues to grow .

Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow liv-ing and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s? The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines built in the UK in the mid 1930s. Another sight is an authentic replica of the Short Admiralty Type 184 seaplane, a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo carrying folding-wing seaplane used in the Estonian War of Independence in the early 1920s and later for mail service. The museum is located in the former seaplane hangars built during WWI

by the Russian tsar. The construc-tion is architecturally unique since it was the largest armoured concrete ceiling in the world at the time of construction.

Küti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, TallinnBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city cen-tre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail.

Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse into gloomy Soviet era prison life. For a small entrance fee you can take a self-guided tour through the dark halls of this old sea fortress that has served as barracks, and then as a prison during Soviet times.

Kalaranna 2-2aBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city cen-tre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail, just before the Seaplane Harbour.

Kadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherine’s Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century. The park and the palace were built by Peter the Great, who apparently helped in its building. As was cus-tomary at the time, the main house was named after his wife. There are plenty of other things to see in this beautiful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace, head straight along the park trail to the Russalka monument, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The famous Song Festival Grounds (Lauluväljak) are only a short walk from the park as well.

Pirita is an area located a short distance to the east of the city centre and offers a variety of things to see and do. Start by visiting the ruins of St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster) whose colourful history dates back to the 15th century. A stroll through the ruins and the surrounds, including the small cemetery, is a moving reminder of the past. Its proximity to the Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in summer. Also located a short distance from the beach is the city’s Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as it not only pro-vides a number of interactive exhibits but also offers one of the best views of the city and the district. A starting point for information on these can be found at:

St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster)-Kloostri tee 9, Tallinn

Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn) - Kloostrimetsa tee 58A, Tallinn

Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) - Kloostrimetsa tee 52, Tallinn.

Visitors can catch a glimpse of the Estonian countryside and village life from the past. The venue has a dis-tinctive rural atmosphere that includes various farm buildings as well as its own church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a dancing area, and a village swing add to the character of the place. Some of the country’s iconic windmills can also be seen. Various demonstrations, displays and interactive activities help bring the past to life and provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.

It was a Daigo Takagi’s dream

right from the beginning to open a Japanese restaurant in Tallinn, and thanks to the suc-cess of Momo (the place to get all things Japanese), this dream has become a reality. The story is very familiar, Daigo came to Tal-linn six years ago to study and fell in love with Estonia. “Estonians are very honest and shy people, very similar to Japanese people”, he explained in perfect Estonian. “We want to show people that there is more to Japanese food than sushi. When we opened the restaurant, we didn’t even want to serve sushi”, Daigo told me. For those that love sushi, don’t worry; Tokumaru has a small sushi menu too. I tried the Aburi salmon. The salmon is served over rice and is cooked very slightly on one side. The result is a slightly caramelised

piece of salmon that melts in your mouth, and is topped with a thin lemon slice.

Ramen has become popular

all over the world, though it’s just starting to reach us here in Estonia, thanks to Tokumaru. According to Daigo, ramen has

not even made it to Helsinki, but Finns do know what it is.

Ramen is soup. It is a home-style food that seems very simple when it is put together, but the dif-ferent elements of the dish take a long time to prepare. Ramen has four parts: the bouillon, the noo-dles, the sauces, and the toppings.

The bouillon is the base of the soup. It cooks for seven to eight hours. The noodles are made in house from Estonian wheat flour. The miso paste is also made here. “The recipe is 36 years old. It is traditional, yet modern.” Daigo couldn’t tell me more because it was a secret recipe. Tokumaru serves five different types of ramen, which range in price from 7.80 - 9,80. Smaller portions are also available, or in combination with sushi.

The restaurant is located on the second floor of the Solaris shop-ping centre, just above the cinema. The minimalist décor suits the restaurant well, leaving nothing to distract you from the food, well, except maybe the open kitchen and the wall of windows offering a lovely view over the street. ■

Enjoy a wonderful candlelit meal under the arches of this 17th cen-tury French restaurant. The menu offers many wonderful dishes for the holiday season. Start you din-ner with a warm ginger and rum drink. The servers are dressed in period costume and bring the food to the table on large platters.

The three different Christmas menus are named after the Three Musketeers. One menu includes six appetisers and two to four warm main dishes, together with one or two desserts.

The paté has been made with gingerbread, and while the turnips are not baked, as one would expect,

stewed in cream, they make a deli-cious accompaniment. A smoky flavoured fig sauce is served with the roast pork, and the oven roasted potatoes are flavoured with orange and garlic. The saf-fron sauce pairs well with the oven baked salmon.

Coffee is served together with the dessert, but you can also order a French digestif. The special Christ-mas menus can be ordered ahead of time for groups of six or more. Le Chateau can accommodate up to 130 guests. The Christmas menus cost between 31-40 per person. ■

The Hot People: Butterfly Lounge Vana-Viru 13/Aia 4,

Tallinn Old Town H3.

Thanks in part to the closure of some other excellent bars, but also due to good management, Butterfly Lounge has taken on some excellent staff and kept a good reputation for food and drinks that make you feel a million euros, on a mid-range budget. The great thing about Butterfly is the decor - the pastel blues and pinks lift the mood and make custom-ers feel so much happier than they would in some of the dark, drab bars of elsewhere in the Old Town. The other great thing is that about 97 of the clientele are unbeliev-ably gorgeous, making the place a feast for the eyes if you’re a people-watcher. Male and female bar-staff get into the swing of things too, wearing pink shirts and seeming like the happiest bartenders in all of Estonia. There is usually live music from a major local music act, with excellent acoustics mean-ing it’s easy to talk while the band plays on, but also to hear every word sung, if you’re a music-lover.

The food is good, although not up there with the best Tallinn has to offer; pre-closure and reopening, Clazz (Vana Turg 2, Tallinn Old Town H2) offered the best main course at around 20, but this reviewer has not returned since its relaunch so cannot compare menus any longer. The beef tartar at Butterfly is a treat, melting on the tongue as the egg yolk intermingles with the meat. It is nonetheless with cocktails that Butterfly thrills. The extensive menu of global favourites and celebrity-endorsed tipples will help any New-Year reveller to feel in the mood for dancing.

Butterfly Lounge, although not by any means a ”gay bar”, is very gay-friendly, refreshingly so in Tallinn, a city that has often seemed behind-the-times when it comes to gay culture.

The Luxury-Lovers: VabankHarju 13, Tallinn Old Town J1.

Vabank Klubi is the place to be if you want to be in with the in-crowd, and go where the in-crowd goes. Though it has a reputation among twentysomethings for being for the slightly older party animal, that’s not really true any longer - you will find plenty of people from early twenties up enjoying themselves. Don’t be sur-prised to be charged a big admis-sion fee to get in, but when you are in, you will find very well-dressed beautiful people, in a more chilled club than neighbouring Prive (Harju 6, Tallinn Old Town J1), or the sweaty-youth Mecca that is Club Hollywood (Vana-Posti 8, Tallinn Old Town I1). The laid-back attitude is reflected by (expensive) seating areas where groups of around ten can recline on comfy sofas and share bottles of wine. For an extra few euros you can have access to the VIP area, accessible behind a sliding door. This is a luxury worth paying for if you come to Vabank; you will want a quiet place to dance or sit with your friends, away from the crowds of the main club. For the chosen few, there is also the Ban-kowners’ cigar club downstairs, although you need a special card to get in there, and it’s by invitation of the club’s management only. Whether you think of yourself as a Justin Timberlake or a Jordan Bel-fort, you’ll find a calm, sexy crowd and the biggest tunes in Vabank.

The Hipsters: Sinilind Müürivahe 50, Tallinn Old Town I2.

If you’re not an aspirational social-climber and you just want to have good, dressed-down fun with your friends, you’re best-off going to Sinilind, a place we’ve mentioned before, but which comes into its own on New Year’s Eve. This repor-ter went in there for an hour or so at 1am on New Year’s Eve 2013, and did not emerge until 4.30am, so electri-fying was the music being played, particularly in an old-school hip-hip set in one of the smaller rooms. There are few musical boundaries in Sinilind; you are unlikely to hear cheesy chart hits, but you will hear something that kicks your night up a notch. If all that dancing gets too much for you and your compan-ions, you can retire to the cute little cafe area, where cakes are served throughout the opening hours. The dress code is ”come as you are”, although it always helps to wear a cool hat or a statement shirt or dress - just keep it playful, not overly fancy or designer.

Fireworks: Vabaduse Väljak (Freedom Square) Tallinn Old Town J1.

Wherever you spend New Year’s Eve, make absolutely sure you step out into Vabaduse Väljak for the annual firework display and street party, where you are sure to meet great new friends, and where the cold of the Estonian winter seems, for a few stolen moments, not to matter any longer. ■

Countdown to 2015!

It’s New Year’s Eve, you’re in Tallinn, and you’re looking for something to make your night the most mem-orable of the year. Allow us to take you through a clutch of places that will provide the party, so all you have to do is bring good spirits and have a great time. There are parties going on all over Tallinn, but

the ones you want to be at are where you can enjoy yourself among people who are like you, and people you like. Usually in The Baltic Guide, we suggest a route for your night out. This being New Year’s Eve, it’s far more likely you will head to the best party and then stay there. Take a look at our best parties for people who love to party with the hot people, the luxury-lovers and the hipsters. One warning: as with any city, if you’re going to eat out, book a table; most places will be full when it comes to the day itself.

Ring in the New Year!

“We were a group of 42 people and we decided to visit the Estonia Concert Hall. On the way back to the hotel, we stumbled upon the Beer Garden,

a restaurant in the Old Town. They had a great selection of beers and fantastic food, but the best part was that we got to sit together at one big table!

We danced until we could dance no more! Some of us even partied until morning and did not even make it back to the hotel…”

As with most great business ideas, they usually begin when you least expect it. This was certainly the case for Elena Volk, owner of Les

Petites Disain & Vintage. Elena started making jewellery when she fell pregnant, then decided to continue with it instead of returning to her old job. “I was making jewellery next door (to

their current loca-tion in Telliskivi), and my friends were mak ing things too”. And so the idea was born –a common place for designers to sell their goods.

The concept soon became very popular. “I only sell things I, myself, would wear or use”, she explains.

“In the beginning I was going to design fairs, looking for local designers. I would hand out fly-ers. Designers could find me on our website and submit examples of their work there”. With over 60 designers now showcasing their goods at Les Petites, I wondered how she chooses. “On any given day I have four to five people com-ing in to show me their designs, looking for a spot on the shelves at Les Petites”. Of course Elena cannot accept everything. “I look for things that suit the style of our shop”.

Les Petites does not just show-case Estonian design. The shop is filled with Scandinavian furniture. In the corner, there is the Stål-hästen pop-up bike space. Elena

herself loves vintage Japanese dresses. There is a rack of these as well. “We also house guest design-ers for two to three months at a time and organise special events”.

Elena is still designing jewellery,

including the Bio:loogiline:kell line of women’s jewellery and men’s accessories she designs together with Kadri Tulev.

“We often have people con-tacting us from abroad, asking if

we can send items to them. Many people have come into the shop, fallen in love with a particular item and then regretted not buying it. With this is mind, we will soon be opening a web shop”. Keep up-to-date with what is going at Les Petites via their Facebook page. ■

The tour is based

on the life of an energetic Estonian

lady, Aliine Tamm. The journey begins at Köstriaseme

Farm in 1895, where Aliine’s mother is about to give birth to her. A traditional Christmas is being prepared for.

Typ-ical Christmas

traditions for 1932, or the first period of Estonian independ-ence are shown at the Härjapea House. These include, a Christ-mas tree, the preparation of tasty foods, and sharing of presents.

The Soviet period brought radical change to Estonian Christmas trad-itions. Instead of celebrating Christ-mas in the 1960s, the New Year was celebrated; and instead of Father Christmas, there was Father Frost. In the 1980s, Christmas was cour-

ageously cele-brated again, though

only the privacy of one’s home. In the idyllic Sutlepa Chapel,

choir concerts and Christmas prayers on Saturdays and Sundays are held. There is a Christmas market in the Sassi-Jaani Farm, and you can taste Christmas foods at the Kolu Kõrts. ■

In winter you can see many strange sights at the zoo, like Amur leop-ards in the snow. If you need to warm up, you can visit the tropical house, where you will see Betty, Pino, and Quincy, the zoo’s three chimpanzees.

This year’s new attraction was the Amur leopard cubs born in April, who often come to meet the visitors behind the glass win-dow. The snow does not bother Dora, Freddo, and Muusi in their large pen.

At the west gates, a new nature cen-tre opened in spring, where you will find a shop, nature centre, toi-lets, and children’s zoo, where kids can meet rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. Previously, the children’s zoo was only open in summer.

For a thorough visit of the zoo, you should leave at least three

hours, or even then entire day. The large zoo will certainly tire youngsters out, so the zoo pro-vides strollers. The zoo also has wooden carts.

The ticket counter is open 9.00-15.00 in winter. You can stay in the zoo up to two hours after closing, or until 17.00. Adult tick-ets cost 4, and children’s tickets cost 2.

A family pass also allows access to the nearby Open Air Museum. The family pass costs 12. ■

How to get there

Take trolley number 6 from in front of Kaubamaja or trolley number 7 from Baltijaam Train Station, as well as busses 21, and 21B. Bus 22 leaves from Vabaduseväljak (Freedom Square). Get off at the Zoo stop.

Modern BeautySpecialised procedures, professional service,

and a comfortable atmosphere are just some of the reasons Freya Estetica stands out from the rest.

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

Non-invasive beauty treatments are becoming more and more com-mon. Women, and men, don’t have the time to take a few days from work to recover from a beauty pro-cedure. The No-Needle Mesothe-rapy procedure for example, takes just an hour and a half, and offers you relaxation as well.

Freya Estetica is located in Tallinn’s city centre, right on the edge of the Old Town. While they have a regular client base, stepping in as a first time client, I felt right at home. Depending on which procedure you are trying, you will have to fill out some forms, inclu-ding a short questionnaire. This is to make sure that the treatment you are undergoing is suitable and that you will get the best results.

I tried the No-Needle Mesot-herapy, a procedure that has

become quite popular in the last little while. “All of our staff have gone through thorough training”, explains Jelena, my cosmetologist.

Jelena is also great at answering all of my questions and explaining exactly how the procedure will go. The hyaluronic acid cocktail for face and neck (2 hours, 119) begins with a laser treatment with the NNM™ device. This machine uses both a laser (red and infra-red) and electrotherapy (electro stimulation, micro currents for mio-lifting, lymphatic drainage and interferential therapy). This combination helps the cocktail reach deep into the skin.

No-Needle Mesotherapy NNM™ treats both cellulite and age-related skin issues by encou-raging the penetration of a topical solution. As the title suggests, it does not use any needles, and as

I found out, is so relaxing that it’s not difficult to fall asleep during the procedure. After the laser has gone over your skin, then the electrotherapy begins. This ensu-res that the hyaluronic acid solu-tion reaches deep into the skin. The solution, or cocktail, lifts skin, strengthens blood vessels, deeply hydrates, and restores tissue meta-bolism. In other words, it leaves your skin looking and feeling great.

To get the best results, you should undergo 8-10 treatments, though you may even notice results after one treatment. Jele-na suggested having a course of treatment twice a year. In Decem-ber, customers will receive 10 off No-Needle Mesotherapy. ■

The Christmas market in Tallinn’s Town Hall Square is the place to find interesting things to fill your stockings. The Square is filled with little houses where handicraft arti-sans are selling everything from sweaters to tree ornaments and ceramic jugs. Walking among the dozens of wooden houses you will be sure to find something.

Be sure to visit with the kids because Santa and his reindeer will also be at the market. You can tell your gift wishes to Santa from 12.00-18.00 every day. In addition

to the reindeer, there are also other animals at the market.

It’s worth a visit just to see the immense Christmas tree in the centre of the Square. This has been a tradition since 1441. It’s even argued that it was the first Christmas tree in Europe.

Concerts and dance perfor-mances are organised on the stage at the market on Fridays and Saturdays from 17.00-19.00 and Sundays, 12.00-14.00. You will see everything from flamenco to ballet and even children’s dance performances.

The Advent candles are lit on Sunday. The mayor declares Christmas peace on the 24th at 12.00.

The smell of Estonian Christ-mas food wafts through the air. Try some sauerkraut, sausages and the traditional blood sausage. Warm up with some mulled wine, or glögg, and other hot drinks until 23.00 every night. ■

Christmas Market at the Town Hall Square Tallinn21 November – 10 JanuaryOpen daily, 10.00-19.00

Get into the Christmas spirit at the market

Maritime fashion is probably

something you’ve never thought about. What do fishermen wear at sea? How has navy fashion changed over the years? What did people wear to the beach 100 years ago?

The Sea in the Wardrobe exhi-bit answers all of these questions and more. The six-room exhi-bit looks at sea clothing and the materials it is made from, beach-wear and children’s outfits. There

is truly something for everyone in this unique exhibit. ■

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS KUMU

This fascinating exhibition is based on the collection of Alex-andre Vassiliev (1958). Vassiliev is a fashion historian, interior designer, and scenographer, quite well known in Europe. The exhibit focuses on fashion in the decade following World War I.

The exhibition includes 80 cos-tumes and over 200 accessories, as well as some photos and paintings that illustrate the development of European fashion between the two World Wars. Art Deco was the dominant style during this period.

The biggest change in women’s fashion during this time was the

change in dress length. Dresses became shorter between 1918 and 1925. Muslin dresses with low necklines, decorated with sequins were typical. Handbags and even-ing bags were common accessor-ies, including the helmet shaped hats, typical of the period. Other accessories included fans made from ostrich feathers, Bakelite

compacts, shiny cigarette hold-ers and brooches with fake jewels.

Alexandre Vassilev has published close to 40 books on fashion his-tory. His Art Deco collection has been on display throughout the world, in cities like Paris, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Istanbul, Mos-cow, Riga, Vilnius, and Kaunas. ■

The exhibit runs until 18 January, 2015

Tallinn’s public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three

use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was

introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is

your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and

are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free.

Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader.

Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of

time on-line at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee
