Road Time unfolds as a road through time and space — where obsolete vehicles and future mobility coexist. Unique in Europe, the historical road space consists of six distinct road types: bog road, earth road, gravel road, cobblestone road, bitumen-bound road, and asphalt concrete road. Each section represents a specific road type from different regions of Estonia or historical Livonia, with landscaping and road signage matching the era on display.
The bog road is based on a 4th-century road section excavated from Kata Heinasoo, while the cobblestone road takes its prototype from a remarkably well-preserved stretch in the Tatra Valley. The winding route presents the road and its surrounding space in a way that allows visitors to experience one place and one era at a time — without visual overlap.
Road Time is a one-of-a-kind outdoor exhibition that goes beyond the history of roads and traffic. It offers hands-on opportunities for traffic education, learning, and leisure. The museum’s expansion received the EAS Tourism Innovator Award in 2011, was voted Estonia’s most child-friendly museum by readers of Pere ja Kodu magazine in 2012, and the graphic concrete walls of the outdoor areas were awarded a Special Prize for Concrete Construction in 2010.
