BOOK View on map

The Estonian History Museum is located the summer estate with a colourful past, known as Maarjamäe Palace. On the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia (in 2018), the renovated historical palace was opened as an immersive history centre with the updated permanent exhibition My Free Country. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through 100 years, from the birth of the Republic of Estonia to the modern day.

In the "Children's Republic," created as a part of the permanent exhibition, younger visitors can learn about the organisation of a democratic state through play.
During the first half of the 17th century the palace served as a sugar factory. Later on, it functioned as a starch and spirits factory, and a modern hotel-restaurant.

Great way to learn history of Estonia

Fantastic museum for 3 hours, providing great knowledge and context of Estonian history. Great display of exhibitions, and staff were helpful too. Free locker rooms for bags

Soviet statue graveyard

I didn’t go in the museum itself as I was there for the Soviet statue graveyard - which is free! To see these statues was incredible as most get destroyed. To stand face to face with Lenin and Stalin...

Good

Good museum that tells you the story of the Estonian people through the times. If you plan to do a lot of museum etc. I would recommend the Tallinn card which makes it at lot more affordable.
