From 1940 to 1991 Estonia was occupied. After World War II, Tartu was declared a ”closed town” to foreigners, as an air base for bombers was constructed on the Raadi Airfield, in the northeast outskirts of the city. It was one of the biggest military air bases in Eastern Europe and housed intercontinental fighters. At the present there is the new Estonian National Museum. A 350-metre-long glass block ramps rise from the runway of a former soviet airfield. The design of the new building of the Estonian National Museum by DGT Architects from Paris has won the
2016 AFEX Grand Prix for French architecture overseas. Estonian National Museum preserves the feeling of continuity and tradition. The Museum’s function as a contemporary cultural and tourist center is to show Estonians’ everyday lives in different periods. Attention is also paid to the cultures of other nations, especially those of the Finno-Ugric people. ERM Museum
