The Estonian National Museum’s exhibition on the Estonia-Swedes is the largest and most comprehensive exploration of the cultural heritage of Estonia’s Estonia-Swedish communities. This catalogue provides an additional resource for perspectives richer and deeper than what merely the exhibition hall can offer. The essays in the volume are by scholars of Estonia-Swedish culture and history, others are from different disciplines and walks of life and the descendants of Estonia-Swedes.
