Mahtra is a name of place and of manor, known among Estonians due to a historical event in 1858, the first uprising of Estonian farmers. The existing museum houses exhibitions on Mahtra war and folk culture in local area. The extention project is to commemorate life of peasants rather than war through calmness of all settings.
Mahtra is a name of place and of manor, known among Estonians due to a historical event in 1858, the first uprising of Estonian farmers. The existing museum houses exhibitions on Mahtra war and folk culture in local area. The extention project is to commemorate life of peasants rather than war through calmness of all settings. Visitors will reach the main entrance through the west-facing courtyard between the exisiting and the extention. The “Museum Park” across the street from the museum is to be landscaped with plants and flowers which related to farming and folklore. The playground on the south is for children to experience how children used to play in old days. The extention shall retain the existing volumetrical proportion to create harmony with the existing so as to become a united whole, as if it has stood there for a long time. The roof and the exterior wall throughout the building are covered with wooden plank with tar.
Eestlased teavad Mahtrat ja selle mõisa 1858. aastal toimunud eesti esimese talurahva ülestõusu järgi. Olemasolevas muuseumis on väljapanekud Mahtra sõja ning kohaliku kultuuri ja ala kohta. Juurdeehitus on pigem mälestamaks talurahva rahulikku elu kui sõda. Külalised saabuvad muuseumi läbi läänepoolse õueala, mis jääb olemasoleva ja juurdeehitatava hoone vahele. Muuseumi vastu üle tee jääv Muuseumi park haljastatakse põllulillede ja taimedega, mis seostuvad talupidamise ja folklooriga. Lõunasse jääval lastemänguväljakul saavad lapsed mängida nii nagu seda tehti paarsada aastat tagasi. Juurdeehitusel on säilitatud samad mahulised proportsioonid, et tekitada ühtne tervik. Hoone seinad ja katus on kaetud tõrvatud laudisega.
