Lihula Muuseum

Here are a couple photos from an exhibit highlighting Russian ephemera and propaganda at the Lihula Muuseum [in the very small town of Lihula [Estonia]]...
The musuem is housed in an old manor home that was built in the mid 19th century—very rustic, no lighting, no new paint in decades... To really set a mood, there was an old record player blasting scratchy russian march music.
