Anotace: The article analyses the treatment of religion and nonreligion in two current permanent

exhibitions at the Estonian National Museum in the light of a Estonian national narrative which
is critical of religion/Christianity. National narratives are concurrently a process and an outcome
and therefore it is important to study how that narrative changes over time, as it reflects changes
in society. The article also studies how culture and religion are represented in the aforementioned
exhibitions and how they support the recently emerging phenomenon of separating religion from
culture.
