The museum can be accessed with mobility aids from the door in the vault of Börsi Käik, but pre-arrangement is necessary. From there, you can take the elevator to the cellar floor of the museum. The front door is accessible also with the help of the security guards; there is also a stairlift that works with some wheelchairs.
Estonian History Museum - Great Guild Hall
Dating back to 1407, the late-Gothic Great Guild Hall is one of the most impressive medieval buildings in Old Town. The guild's members were the richest merchants in the city, and through the centuries the building has been used for feasts, weddings, court hearings and theatre performances. Today it houses the Estonian History Museum, whose permanent exhibition covers 11,000 years of Estonia's past. The venue's main hall, as well as its smaller cellar rooms and courtyard, can be booked for events.
