On January 21 at 4:00 PM, two exhibitions will be opened at Valga Museum, dedicated to significant historical events in our Estonian homeland and Valga County in the years 1919 and 1920.
On February 1, 1919, immediately after the Battle of Paju, the City of Valga was liberated from the Red Army troops, and on February 2, 1920, the Peace Treaty of Tartu was signed between the Republic of Estonia and Soviet Russia, which provided legal basis for international recognition of independence for our small beloved homeland.
The Estonian War Museum brings the exhibition The Estonian War of Independence 1918–1920 to Valga, along with materials from the Tartu City Museum, originating from the exhibition 100 Years of the Tartu Peace Treaty prepared a few years ago. In addition, it will be possible to see objects from the time of these events from the collections of the Valga Museum and Tartu City Museum.
Both exhibitions will remain open until March 1, 2026.
At the opening event, Toomas Hiio, Research Director of the Estonian War Museum and Head of Research at the Estonian Institute of Historical Memory, will give a presentation.
You are welcome!
