The institution opened its public exhibition facilities in spring, establishing regular operations along the Tallinn coastal shore. The site operates within the Europe/Tallinn time zone and experiences severe maritime seasonal changes. Harsh Baltic winds drive visitors and long-term researchers inside the sheltered hangars during winter, turning the museum into a dependable coastal work space when outdoor dock areas freeze.
