On the basis of the feedback received from visitors of the first part of the time travel “VR Toila 1938”, there was a great desire to see other interior spaces in the palace in addition to the dining hall. That's how the time travel experience got a sequel dedicated to the main hall of the Oru Palace and President Päts' doings at the palace.

The second part of the time travelling experience "VR Toila 1938" takes you on a journey in the footsteps of lost glory. This virtual tour brings to life the main hall of the palace with its extremely rich decor and describes the life of Estonian President Konstantin Päts at Oru Palace. In front of you are the views of the great hall of the summer residence of the head of state, which is illustrated by massive chandeliers with blue-purple crystals and the ceiling mural of the famous Russian artist Vladimir Makovsky.

As the historical experience we offer is colourful, we did a lot of work on it. We have gathered information about the main hall piece by piece. We have studied the use of colour by Makovsky, worked through peoples memories of the great hall from the late 1930s, and so on. All so that the result corresponds as accurately as possible. In any case, the result is worth watching and experiencing.

So, let’s bring this palace’s great hall back to life with its extremely rich decor!

Come on a journey with our VR glasses and get to know the crown jewel of Oru Park, which fate gave only a moment to last. However, the story of the palace is a good example of the multi-layered history of Estonia. We invite you to a journey that will make you feel as if everything is happening here and now.
