Traveler reviews
Michael Raginsky
★★★★★5 months agoGreat museum with deep dive into history of Estonian architecture, past, present and future. A lot of examples to see, and a small gallery on upper floor.
Cyrus Zia
★★★★★9 months agoVery nice experience. The permanent collection on the ground floor was nice and a good stater to understand more about Estonian architectural history, pre and post the occupation. It could be better curated though. The basement gallery was beautiful, experience wise, you get to touch materials and feel them, everything to do with buildings. I believe children specially will enjoy it. The exhibition on the top floor was interesting.. worth checking it out if you like architecture..
