The story which begins from medieval Tallinn highlights the importance of Estonia as a maritime country and the importance of the sea for Estonia: the maritime culture of this country has remained persistent and is shaping our identities to this date. In addition to the wreck of the cog, there are ship models proudly exhibited in the museum which enable to tell the stories of entire fleets of ships. The exhibits and stories are supported by innovative smart technological solutions which provide information in a playful manner.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The development project provides equal opportunities for experiencing the unique medieval fortification of the city and the story of Estonian seafaring to visitors with special needs. The extent of accessibility exceeds anything seen in Estonia so far: the medieval building is turned wheelchair-accessible in the maximum possible extent, almost 90%, and will be equipped with an elevator, an induction loop with sound amplification which is compatible with hearing aids, a guide line for the visually impaired, tactile copies of selected ship models, etc. Ensuring the accessibility of the museum is supported by the National Foundation of Civil Society and by the EV100 initiative. <u>Read more<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/meremuuseum.ee\/paksmargareeta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-factsheet-of-the-development-project-.pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The factsheet of the development project (.pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Name of the project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund: Developing the building complex of the Fat Margaret Tower into a modern family-oriented museum and visitor centre.<\/p>\n<p>Brief description of the project: As a result of the project, the Fat Margaret Tower will be opened as a modern family-oriented museum and visitor centre, which will enrich the Estonian tourism landscape and provide additional motivation for foreign tourists travelling with families to visit Tallinn.
