Tallinn City Museum

Tallinn City Museum brings together seven unique sites across the city, from the medieval Old Town to the districts of Kadriorg and Kalamaja. Founded in 1937, the museum is dedicated to preserving, researching, and sharing the history and cultural heritage of Tallinn.

At the Kiek in de Kök Fortifications Museum, visitors can explore medieval defence towers, hidden passages, and 17th-century bastion tunnels. The Tallinn City Life Museum offers a glimpse into everyday life in a medieval merchant’s house, while the Museum of Photography presents the story of Estonian photography in a former medieval jailhouse behind the Town Hall.

Families can enjoy Children’s Museum Miiamilla in picturesque Kadriorg Park, while Kalamaja Museum showcases the creative spirit of one of Tallinn’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The House of Peter the Great invites visitors into the former summer residence, offering a glimpse of Kadriorg Park’s historic charm, and the People’s Museum of Tallinn highlights the rich heritage of the city’s diverse communities and their contributions to its cultural life.
