Fortidsminneforeningen is Europe’s oldest NGO in the field of heritage care, having been in uninterrupted activity since 1844. Within the last few years we have experienced a changing society: Society offers an abundance of activities, the population is no longer homogenous, lifelong commitments are changed for short term memberships, tedious work on boards are shunned in favour of project based activities. At the same time we experience an increased interest in cultural heritage. These challenges must be met, and quickly.

TOLLINTON MARKET
In 1864 as a result of the Industrial Revolution of the 1850’s, a movement started in Punjab for developing local arts and industries. Subsequently, it was decided to organize the First Punjab Exhibition in Lahore.
To display the vast number of exhibits, a special building, now known as Tollinton Market, was erected in the vicinity of the famous Anarkali Bazaar.
While Mr Lockwood Kipling, C.I.E. was Curator of the Museum, the design of the building was prepared by Bhai Ram Singh. The building was completed in 1894, and all the collections were immediately transferred to it.
Sir Robert Montgomerie opened the exhibition in January 1864.
In May 1864 it was converted into a Central Museum.
In 1893 the Old Central Museum was shifted to the new Building.
Berlin has a truly unique and sometimes shocking history, including the Prussian Kings, the rise of Nazism, division by the Berlin Wall and reunification in 1989.

Estonia is a country of contrasts. Such pristine and untouched nature is found in only a few places in Europe. A few hundred metres off the highway you can find yourself in virgin forest, where wolves, bears, and lynx roam free.
A large proportion of our nation’s land is designated as natural protection areas. At the same time, Estonia is on the vanguard of technological development. We invented the
world famous free internet telephone service, Skype.
Wireless internet is available even on buses and trains. On small farms deep
in the forest news of the world arrives via internet, there’s no need to drive to town to buy the newspaper. On a child’s first day of school he carries a bouquet of asters for his teacher along with his book of ABCs. But there’ll also be a mobile telephone in his pocket. For every 100 Estonians there are 120 mobile telephones! To our eastern neighbours the Russians and our southern neighbours the Latvians an Estonian is
thought to be calm and slow to act. But to our northern neighbours the Finns we are a fast act which is tough to follow! When Latvians start to tell jokes, it’s often at the expense of Estonians. But what might appear a guarded and suspicious Estonian is quite the opposite, once you get acquainted with him.
Get acquainted with our small, beautiful, and interesting land!
