Program
During Museum Night, guided tour will take place, and the museum´s exhibitions will be open to visitors. These include the main exhibition on cement production, the Fermi Energia Atomic Information Room, the Room of Handprints of Notable Figures, the art exhibitions “Women in Cement” and “Closed Book: Women in the Industrial Landscape”, as well as the doll exhibition “Soucanton (‘Suka Anton’) and 1000 Dolls”. Visitors are also welcome to explore the exhibitions at their own pace.
Over the course of the evening, we’ll take a look at the museum’s small back room, where some stories may still be unfolding, and where the meaning of some of the objects has yet to be discovered.
The highlight of the evening will be the unveiling of a portrait of former cement factory director Meelis Einstein, created by artist Aapo Pukk.
This will be followed by the making of a handprint in cement — a moment where a voice becomes a trace. Visitors will have the opportunity to witness this ceremony, which usually takes place in a more intimate setting.
Light refreshments will be offered to visitors during the evening by Alfred Gurmee OÜ.
