Fotomuuseum

I have a passion for photography and I consider myself a photographer. I walked in to this place to be inspired and see some beautiful images. All I walked away with is many sexual scenes In old pictures. Some are downright disgusting, perverted, and tasteless. Be warned! If you must come don’t bring children or even teens. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the staff was nice and they had some classical cameras on display. Not unless they change the exhibit I will never go back. Not worth the time or money.

Lovely. They have a permanent expo on the history of photography and photographs in Estonia, as well as 3-4 small, changing exhibitions. Their shop has a small very fancy selection of designer cards, books and handbags. Highly recommended. The chairs are scary high- it was a true climbing effort for those kids. So if you are older or are with small kids- be prepared. I make sure I check them out every half year or so, preferrably on one of the museum days.

A cosy small museum but a very interesting one. If you go there, you will find out a lot about the history of photography and have a chance to enjoy an exhibition. The building where the museum is located is rather old and it fascinates as well. I recommend you to visit Tallinn Photo museum and take time to explore!

Very interesting expositions with great additional explanations from the lady working on the second floor (not sure she can English though, probably just Estonian and Russian). Especially eye-catching was the hugh centerpiece of a copying machine from 1930s. We've come a long way, indeed... The location was also with an interesting architecture, situated in a house used as a prison during the middle ages. In addition to the examples of photography equipment from the olden days, there are also modern photo exhibitions. I liked a lot the shooting session Sirli Raitma had done of her mother, very fun and enjoyable :)

Little museum, which gives info about photography history in Estonia. One room shows the development of photography and famous photographers in Tallinn and Estonia. Second room has shelfs with different old cameras. Then there are rooms with different exhibitions of modern photographers. We had a guided excursion, which was very interesting, as the guide could give much more info, than it was written there. Also the guide told us a lot of interesting stuff about old cameras standing on the second floor of the museum. I would definitely recommend visiting this museum, if you are interested in photography history. But the guided tour would be more informative, than just walking around on your own.

Wonderful museum tells the history of photography in Estonia. Always interesting temporary exhibitions. Located on the premises of an old jailhouse which is an interesting experience by itself. Some places might be hard to navigate, as it is a medieval building.

I would say that there are not much things to see in this museum comparing to similar museums in other european cities. But the entry is free with the Tallinn card so if you hold one, and also have some time to spend, why not visit it?

I expected more. It was quite small and the photos were not mostly not so interesting. An average museum for 7€. Probably wouldn't go there again 😬
