Ice Age Centre, Natural history museum in Äksi village, Estonia.
The Ice Age Centre exhibits life-sized models of prehistoric animals across three floors, detailing the formation of Estonian landscapes through glacial periods.
Established in 2012 by Asta Tuusti, the museum emerged from a vision to create an educational center focusing on glacial periods and their effects.
The second floor connects scientific discoveries about post-glacial periods with Estonian folklore and traditional stories from the Vooremaa region.
Located near Lake Saadjärv, the center operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs.
Visitors encounter Franz, a preserved polar bear from Tallinn Zoo, while learning about climate patterns through interactive exhibits and virtual reality experiences.
