    When Eesti Post issued a stamp featuring the Pakri Lighthouse in 1995, designed by Roman Matkiewicz, no one could have imagined it would spark a creative collaboration spanning more than 30 years. Indeed, over the decades, 38 more Estonian lighthouses found their way onto stamps.<\/p>\n

    The result is both a philatelic treasure and a maritime history landmark, now presented in full at the new exhibition.<\/p>\n

    On display are enlarged reproductions of all 39 stamps, alongside selected originals, maximum cards, first-day covers, and postmarks.<\/p>\n

    Matkiewicz, a long-time visual historian of the Estonian Maritime Museum, first sketched every lighthouse on location. His journeys across the country over the years have left him with countless stories to share.<\/p>\n

    Among other things, we learn how to capture Estonia\u2019s very own \u2018leaning tower\u2019, the Kiipsaare Lighthouse; which beacon required trekking across a frozen sea to draw; and which lighthouse now exists only on a stamp.<\/p>\n

    The exhibition celebrates two milestones at once: Roman Matkiewicz\u2019s 60th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the very first lighthouse stamp. Warm congratulations \u2013 and may the work of illuminating history continue!<\/p>\n

    Primarily an association of polar researchers, the Estonian Polar Club has been operating at the Estonian Maritime Museum since 1 December 1984. The founding date was chosen in honour of the Antarctic Treaty, concluded 25 years earlier, which to this day regulates all important operations in Antarctica.<\/p>\n

    The first president of the club, academician J\u00fcri Martin: \u2018The Maritime Museum organised exhibitions introducing the oceans, and Antarctica could not be left out. So people who had been to Antarctica came together. This was easy enough, as most of them already knew each other from their university days. Of course Enn Kreem, Andres Tarand, and myself as well. We talked things over, and that\u2019s the kind of association that formed. These were times when clubs couldn\u2019t operate on their own and the Maritime Museum took us under its umbrella. And that\u2019s how it\u2019s been until now.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

    The main tasks of the club have been uniting people who have participated in polar expeditions, introducing polar topics to the general public, cooperation with international and foreign polar organisations, and advising on Arctic and Antarctic issues. As a partner of the Estonian Maritime Museum, preserving Estonia\u2019s polar heritage has become more important in the recent years.<\/p>\n

    The fields of activity of the members have been varied: meteorology, climatology, physics, geography, geology, biology, medicine, lake studies, history, ethnology, cinematography, architecture, journalism, philology, law, polar aviation, polar navigation, etc.<\/p>\n

    In order to become a member of the club, one must either be a polar researcher or have contributed to the study of polar regions or to promoting of the field with their activities, and two recommenders from among the club members are also required.<\/p>\n

    Chief Executive of the Polar Club and the curator of the exhibition, Katrin Savom\u00e4gi: \u2018Over the decades, polar-themed events and forums organised at the Maritime Museum have brought people closer to these distant cold and sometimes extreme places in the Arctic and Antarctica.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

    The exhibition gives an overview of the club\u2019s founding, early years, and activities through the decades. The club has also successfully engaged in youth work, encouraging young people with scholarships, and involving them in expeditions to arouse and nurture their interest in polar sciences.<\/p>\n
