Estonian Museum of Architecture

Estonian Museum of Architecture has a permanent exhibition of the models of the city, providing an overview of Estonian architecture in the 20th century. In order to supplement the exhibition, the museum has ordered new models and brought out old ones from its storage from time to time, keeping the exhibition fresh.

The museum is located in Rotermann salt storage that is over 115 years old and one of the most remarkable examples of industrial architecture in Tallinn. Its goal is to cover a wide audience, offering items that would fascinate specialists, tourists, as well as school children.

In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum offers many seasonal exhibitions.

Come and be surprised!
