Childhood Wisdom

The Estonian Health Museum brings visitors the fun and candid exhibition  “Childhood Wisdom“. Since April 2023, this popular exhibition has been touring across Estonia.

We have created this exhibition in collaboration with the visitors of the Estonian Health Museum. We asked people to send us funny stories and thought-provoking questions from children about the human body and its workings. We selected 25 wittiest and most relevant gems. The children’s questions and stories are accompanied by explanations from the Health Museum and humorous drawings by artist Liisa Kruusmägi.

We are grateful to all who shared their experiences with us! We believe that the exhibition will bring the joy of discovery to children as well as their families, who sometimes struggle to find answers to children’s seemingly simple questions.

Stay curious!
