Minu jaoks kolmas kord, kahe varasema aasta külastused siin.
Sel aastal oli kindel plaan käia ära Tervishoiumuuseumis, kuid sinna lõpuks ei jõudnudki - järjekord oli päris pikk ja kuna päeval sai suvilas kartulimaad kaevatud, ei olnud eriti jaksu kauem seista. 2 aastat tagasi oli ilm õhtu alguses vihmane ja kehv, enamus muuseume olid suhteliselt inimtühjad. Sel korral oli küll jahe, kuid see-eest päikesepaisteline ilm, mis meelitas kõik välja ja sellest ka loomulikult suur sagimine igal pool. Mõned kohad tahaksin tegelikult hiljem, piletiga, rahulikult uuesti läbi käia, sest fotod tegin kiiruga (siis kui vähegi vabam auk kuskil tekkis).
Kokkuvõtvalt võibki tänavust muuseumiööd minu jaoks iseloomustada sõnaga "kiirjooks". Külastasime 6 muuseumi: Meremuuseum (Paks Margareeta), Loodusmuuseum, Tarbekunsti - ja Disainimuuseum, Niguliste kirik, Nukuteatri NUKU muuseum ja Arhitektuurimuuseum.
Mõnes neist olin varasemalt käinud kas muuseumiöö raames või mitmeid aastaid tagasi kooliajal, esmakordseteks olid Nukumuuseum ja Arhitektuurimuuseum.

Third time for me, 2013 and 2014 Long nights here.
This time I really wanted to visit Estonian Health Museum but finally ended up not going because the queue was quite long (which was expected to be honest). 2 years ago the weather was rainy at the beginning of the evening and so most museums were pretty empty. This year was sunny which resulted in a mass of people everywhere. I really want to go and visit some of these museums with a ticket some other time, just so I'd have time to look or take photos of things. These photos are mostly rushed (more so than the ones from previous years).
In conclusion it was like speed run, we visited a total of 6 museums: Fat Margaret, Estonian Museum of Natural History, Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design, Niguliste Church and Museum, NUKU Museum, Museum of Estonian Architecture.
Some of them I had visited on previous Long night of museums and some I had visited back in school many years ago.
First ones were NUKU Museum and Architecture Museum.

Algus Loodusmuuseumis (peegeldused igal pool...) // Start in Natural History Museum (reflections everywhere...)

NUKU Muuseum

Niguliste kirik // Niguliste Church

Paks Margareeta // Fat Margaret

Kuna varsti selliseid tramme linnapildis enam ei näe, tegin igaks juhuks ka neist pilte // These old trams will soon be replaced with modern ones, so I took some photos to remember them.

Muuseumiöö 2014 // Long Night of Museums 2014

This time we went to Tallinn TV Tower and to the nearby Tallinn Botanic Garden. We were allowed to be on the highest floor of the TV tower for about 25 minutes which is not a lot, but at the same time it was understandable because the queue was pretty long and only 100 people were allowed to go up at once (for safety/evacuation reasons).
And since spring's arrival has been slow, flowers in the botanic garden hadn't quite blossomed yet...so the gardens were not as exciting as in the summer.

Sel korral käisime Tallinna teletornis ja botaanikaaias. Teletorni kõige kõrgemal korrusel oli lubatud viibida kokku ~25 minutit, millest jäi muidugi natuke väheks. Samas oli piirang arusaadav, sest järjekord oli pikk ja üles lubati vaid 100 inimest korraga (ohutusnõuete tõttu).
Kuna kevad on pikalt ja vaevaliselt saabunud, siis botaanikaaias polnud enamus taimi õide jõudnud puhkeda, seega suurem osa ilust jäi meil nägemata.

The fence (?) on the right looks super warped. At first I thought it to be a glitch that happened while stitching the panorama (6 images for this one) but in the original photos it looked exactly the same. So...no glitch.

Taking photos inside wasn't that easy, the reflections were quite annoying.

You can see the ground through a glass in the floor:

 Not a huge fan of selfies, but since I wanted to have a photo of myself in the tower...

Ahead: Tallinn city centre

 Outside, "view" towards Lasnamäe :D

And now some photos I took couple of days ago in Pikakari.
