An overview of the school life of Estonian farmers’ children in the 19th century through the book Kevade (Spring) is displayed in the large exhibition hall of the main building. The story written by Palamuse-born writer Oskar Luts based on the memories of his school years is his most popular work and was first published in 1912. Most Estonians read this novella at school.

In the movie hall, you can watch historic frames of the writer Oskar Luts and the shooting of the movie Kevade in Palamuse. Critics as well as viewers have hailed this as the best Estonian movie of the 20^th century.

An overview of the highlights of educational life in Palamuse and the history of parish schools of the Lutheran Church in Estonia is displayed in the education and school history hall.
