[ENDED] Special exhibition "Sports bridge over the Gulf of Finland"
"Sports bridge over the Gulf of Finland" presents numerous significant items that characterize the over a century-long sports relationship between Estonia and Finland.
In honor of this Olympic year, part of the exhibition offers a retrospective on the Helsinki Olympic Games, including both the 1940 Games that were canceled and the 1952 Summer Games. Visitors can explore Olympic symbols and learn about the participation of Estonian athletes in the Olympics.
The second part of the exhibition showcases the shared sports history of Estonia and Finland through words, images, and various artifacts, from the earliest instructions and inter-country competitions to the coverage of contemporary sports life. Special attention is given to the peak of competitive encounters between the two kindred nations in the 1960s. The display includes sports equipment, awards, medals, badges, and other items of interest – all the way up to a recently jointly won World Championship medal! However, to discover which sport cooperation between these northern and southern neighbors from both sides of the Gulf of Finland elevated them to the world’s elite, you’ll have to visit the Sports Museum.
The exhibition "Sports bridge over the Gulf of Finland" will be open until autumn and welcomes all sports enthusiasts and history lovers. The special exhibition is available in Estonian, English, and Finnish.
