The museum in the Niguliste Church, which was built in the 13th century, is one of the few museums housed in a sacral building.
Enjoy ecclesiastical art in its historical context: here you will find medieval tombstones, unique altars and Tallinn's most famous artwork, a fragment of Bernt Notke's painting the Danse Macabre (the 'Dance of Death'). This more than five-hundred-year-old painting mediates the worldview of the Middle Ages but is still relevant today.

A glass lift takes visitors to the church tower and skydeck, which offer a 360° view of the Old Town.
