Estonian Film Museum

As you walk on the red carpet leading you to the Film Museum in the Maarjamäe Castle Park, you will feel like a movie star. The film alley takes you to an exhibition that provides an overview of the history of Estonian films and the behind the scenes of the world's film industry.

The permanent exhibition 'Take ONE' shares the secrets of film making and gives the visitors an idea of what happens behind the camera.

In the magical illusion room, machines from the early years of film are available for exploring and testing how people used to make films. You can also try being a filmmaker at the exhibition.

The building has a 210-seat cinema and conference room, perfect for premieres and other events.
