Haapsalu Town Hall
The museum was established in 1929. During the 1930s, antiquities were displayed in the watchtower of Haapsalu episcopal castle only during summers because the museum did not have its own building.

In 2014, a new permanent exhibition called "Guide to the Resort Town" was opened.
