Eile, 18. mail, toimus 5. korda üle-Eestiline
Muuseumiöö. Minu jaoks esimene kord sellest osa võtta. Algupäraselt oli plaanis paari kursakaaslasega külastada
Lennusadamat,
KGB muuseumit,
Okupatsioonide Muuseumit ning
Tarbekunsti - ja Disainimuuseumit. Aga nagu karta oligi, siis KGB muuseumisse oli tung nii suur, et eelregistreerida ei õnnestunudki ja seetõttu jäi sel korral minemata. Plaaniväliselt käisime läbi ka
Paksust Margareetast. Ilm pakkus tõelist vaatemängu - tõsiselt tihe udu, siis sadu ning siis ilus suvine loojang.
Lennusadamasse saabusime suhteliselt varakult ning parajasti esimeste piiskade ajal jõudsime järjekorraga ukse ette ning peaaegu koheselt lasti meid ka sisse. Järjekord oli meeletu ja ma ei taha mõeldagi, kuidas ja kaua paduvihmas inimesed ootama pidid. Veetsime sees ~ 2 tundi ning väljudes olid ukse ees ikka veel metsikud rahvamassid. Aga imestada pole midagi - koht oli väga-väga-väga lahe.
Klõpsisin ennastunustavalt ning esimest korda üle piiiiika aja tekkis olukord, mil ma olin paari tunniga oma mälukaardi peaaegu täis pildistanud (ja loomulikult oli tagavaramälukaart koju ununenud).
Lennusadama sisemusest häid pilte kahjuks ei saanud, sest valgustus oli selline "veealune" ja käsi mul piisavalt aeglaste shutter speedide jaoks eriti kindel ei ole (muuseumipildid ei kuku mul kunagi hästi välja).
It was the 5th annual
Long Night of Museums in Estonia yesterday. And it was also the first time for me and to my friends to "participate". Our initial plan was to visit
Lennusadam (The Seaplane Harbour),
KGB museum,
Occupation Museum and
Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design. But as expected, the KGB museum turned out to be so popular that we couldn't get in. We happened to walk by the
Fat Margaret and since it was open too, we hopped in. The weather was amazing - it started with a very thick fog, followed by rain and then a beautiful sunset.
We arrived at the Seaplane Harbour quite early and when the first raindrops started falling, we were luckily the next ones in the queue to be let inside. The queue was crazy and I can't imagine how long people had to wait in the pouring rain. We spent approximately 2 hours in the museum and when we left, there were people waiting in the line still. But I guess that's no surprise since the place was very-very-very cool.
I took so many photos that my memory card was almost full (and of course I had forgotten to bring my spare memory card with me...).
Unfortunately I couldn't capture the inside of the Seaplane Harbour that well because the lights were pretty dim and my hands are not steady enough for required low shutter speeds (and for that reason I'm pretty rubbish at photographing museums).
