The solo exhibition of world-renowned Japanese artist and composer Ryoji Ikeda, which ran from 2 November to 2 March, attracted 34,024 visitors in four months. A further 704 students participated in the exhibition's educational programs.

From 30 October to 2 November, the Estonian National Museum hosted the international conference ‘Sustainability in Practice: DIY Repair, Reuse and Innovation’.
The conference emphasised the importance of the repair and DIY culture in ecological sustainability, shedding light on repairing, reusing and daily invention in the past as well as the present.

The Estonian National Museum (ERM) launched two large-scale research projects in 2024 with the aim of supporting the digital development of museums, finding new ways to use digital cultural heritage, and increasing collaboration between museums and the gaming industry.

Both the Estonian National Museum in Tartu and the Heimtali Museum in Viljandi County feature several new exhibitions that speak through symbolic or poetic language, tell stories about Estonians, recycling practices, or national attire, or are presented in a unique audiovisual format. 

The Estonian National Museum will focus on sustainability in everyday life from October 30 to November 2.
