Tallinn Museum of Orders of Knighthood

The honourable members of an order are usually called knights and ladies. They wear decorations indicating their affiliation to an order. The museum introduces the history of orders of knighthood across the world, presenting a unique collection of 700 items of badges, stars, chains, and other decorations. Most of the original exhibits are decorations of royal, princely, or clerical orders, but there are also national decorations.

Order a guided tour or use an audio guide. We also offer a special programme for children with a knighting ceremony.
