Welcome to The Pram Museum
The Pram Museum in Käru is a place that takes you back in time. The museum’s collection comprises of approximately 200 strollers: prototype prams from 18th Century England, aristocratic strollers of Central Europe, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, 19th Century Russia, a unique 1928 stroller dating to the first Republic of Estonia.
Why did the strollers of 1920s and 1930s become so low? How does the first transforming stroller look like? Who was the inventor of the first folding stroller? What is the connection between the light industry of the USSR and stroller production? How long was the distance that a Teras factory stroller was expected to cover?
Visiting us
The excursion shows guests our historic exhibition and lets you learn about the daily lives of 18th and 19th Century Europeans. What did the sidewalks of the time look like, and how were the old strollers different from the current ones?
During the excursions for younger visitors, we focus more on the history of toys and how the children of the past used to play.
For groups of lower and upper secondary school students we mention historical events in Europe, the Industrial Revolution in England, the Victorian age, Czarist time in the Governorates of Estonia and Livonia in the 18th and 19th Century, the production of strollers during the first Republic of Estonia. Memory and history, term definitions of the best philosophers in the world.
For senior visitors we tell and show amazing stories that may be familiar to many, so we often end up with a discussion and people gladly share their experiences and stories.
