The Estonian Agricultural Museum is now MUHK. It is located in Ülenurme, Tartu County. The new name shows that the museum's work has expanded.
MUHK talks more about the present and future. It seeks connections between the past, present and future. The museum has collected and preserved Estonian rural history for years. This work continues under the new name.
MUHK still has historical objects, machines and stories. But the way they are talked about is changing. The museum doesn't just talk about the past. It also looks to the future.
Kadri Valner is the museum's director. She says the museum now also discusses contemporary topics. For example, food security and future food. The new name reflects this change.
MUHK opened a new exhibition. The exhibition is over 600 square meters in size. Its name is "Why Do I Need Soil?! From Seed to Harvest, from Hoe to Robot". The exhibition connects the past, present and future.
In the museum, you can see the world of soil, agriculture and the journey of food. Also satellites, robots and artificial intelligence. The exhibition takes visitors to the future dining table.
The museum's structure has not changed. It has three locations: MUHK in Ülenurme, C. R. Jakobson Farm Museum in Kurgja, and Tori Horse Breeding in Tori.
