Traveler reviews
Adrienne Workman
★★★★★2 months agoGreat museum tucked within a pretty courtyard in Old Town, Tallinn. Visited both the temporary Bauhaus exhibit as well as the permanent collection demonstrating artwork from across Estonia. Beautiful permanent exhibit worth visiting.
Julia Maakar
★★★★★a year agoI have got the museum card which allows me to visit museums all over Estonia. This museum has been on my list for too long and I finally went there. This is a great museum for art lovers. It is located in the heart of Old Town. Looks small outside but it is rather spacious inside. I liked the fact that it was open on Sunday until 6PM. The exhibitions are attractive and you can literally look at them from all the angles. Amazing! There are 3 floors and the third floor is dedicated to the history of design. I enjoyed it because I am a millenial and I found many things which reminded me of my childhood. I recommend it to everyone. The fee is 8 EUR but it is worth it.
