Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Museum

The focus of the museum lesson is the discussion “What is freedom?”. What could freedom have meant for grandmothers and grandfathers? What could freedom have meant for those children who had to escape by boat across the stormy sea? What was freedom for those who were sent far away to Siberia and who grew up without parents? Is having few toys a restriction of freedom? We will try to find answers to many contemporary questions through children's life stories. Why is it important to support and help each other? Do you have to live at home to be free? Do you have to fight for freedom? Can everyone be free? Can you be happy when you are not free? We will discuss these and many other questions. To make the discussion memorable, each child will create their own personal freedom compass.
