The exhibition shows how people in the Middle Ages struggled to better themselves through faith and it focuses on the Reformation’s impact in Estonia. Despite there being a great distance between Tallinn and Wittenberg, innovative ideas arrived in Estonia quite soon. Contributing factors included the direct correspondence between Luther, his followers and the local clergy, as well as the spread of the printed word. While cities saw heated debates over these new ideas, the country folk stayed true to their beliefs. The exhibition examines this peculiar religion that was born from the symbiosis of ancient beliefs and Catholicism. The topics also include church lootings. The exhibition encourages visitors to relate these questions to current events and to nail their opinions to the wall.
