PROTO avastustehas, Virtual reality museum in Põhja-Tallinn, Estonia
PROTO avastustehas is an interactive science center in North Tallinn where visitors explore multiple zones dedicated to technology, nature, and human invention. Each section uses digital tools and hands-on experiments to help people understand how the physical world works.
The center was built on the grounds of a former submarine shipyard in an old industrial area of the city. This transformation shows how a place once dedicated to heavy manufacturing has become a space for learning and discovery.
The space connects Estonian traditions with how people today use technology to learn about science and nature. Visitors experience exhibits that show links between heritage crafts and modern ways of understanding the world.
Plan time to explore each zone carefully, as many stations require hands-on engagement and thought. The space is easily accessible and most exhibits work well for different age groups, making it suitable for families and school groups.
Visitors can try special simulations that recreate extreme situations like diving deep underwater or launching a spacecraft from a platform. These experiences use advanced digital technology to let people try impossible or dangerous activities in a safe way.
