In the Noblessner Quarter of Tallinn, a new building designed to house the Nature Museum and various environmental institutions will be named Taru, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. Project leader Riina Roosipuu explained that Taru represents intelligent space for living environments (TaRu) and seeks to gather Estonia's best expertise to address challenges facing the economy, society, spatial planning, and the natural environment. The construction is expected to be completed this autumn, and the Nature Museum plans to officially open its doors at the new location in 2027.

Originally, the climate ministry was expected to move into the innovative wooden building along with other institutions. However, it was revealed last year that the ministry will not occupy the space, leaving room for the Nature Museum, Environment Agency, Environmental Board, Land Board, Environmental Investment Center, and the IT center of the Ministry of Environment to establish their operations in the building. This change reflects ongoing developments in Estonia's approach to organizing ecological efforts in a centralized location.

The establishment of the Taru building exemplifies Estonia's commitment to enhancing its natural environment and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among institutions focused on sustainability and ecological resilience. With approximately 570 jobs anticipated, the new facility is poised to become a hub for environmental initiatives and a symbol of the integration of technology, innovation, and nature in Estonia’s public sector.
