Kadriorg Art Museum

Not very big, no extraordinary architecture, nicely renovated. Lots of paintings, old furniture, but not too many, old household items beautifully crafted, a small section with fake fantastic animals. Some sculptures crammed into what is called the Visible storage gallery. The central hall is impressive. You can visit it all in less than an hour. It also has a small cafe.

Kadriorg Palace is a must-see in Tallinn! Built by Peter the Great for Catherine, beautiful baroque building in excellent condition. Inside, the main hall with luxurious stucco work and ceiling paintings is stunning - very atmospheric. Now it houses the Museum of Foreign Art, but there's also Russian painting - works by Aivazovsky and Bogolyubov. Nice to encounter familiar names. I recommend taking the audio guide, lots of interesting details about the palace's history. Kadriorg Park around the palace is simply gorgeous - manicured alleys, pond with swans, fountains. You can walk in the park for free, great place for a stroll. About 20 minutes walk from Tallinn's center. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you're interested in Russian history and love beautiful parks!

Wonderful little chalet with an impressive art exhibition. We were there at the special exhibition about flowers in art, and the paintings were stunning. Lots of Breughels, and dozens of other paintings from old Dutch masters. They also have a very interesting "Wunderkammer", with all kinds of curiosities, like the skeleton of a mermaid, or a two-headed chicken. Also, the architecture of the building itself is quite beautiful, inside and outside. There also is a courtyard in the back, where in summer lots and lots of flowers will bloom. And in front of the chalet, there is an extensive park.

1 | The museum is housed in the Baroque Kadriorg Palace, which was built in the early 18th century by the Russian Tsar Peter I for his wife Catherine I. The museum specializes in European and Russian art from the 16th to the early 20th century, featuring foreign collections that have no equivalent elsewhere in Estonia. 2 | The adjacent garden and park are worth visiting even if you’re not interested in paintings or don’t plan to go inside. The garden in particular is truly beautiful and deserves great admiration. Entrance to it is free. 3 | The museum ticket costs €15 (October 2025), and you can pay by card.

What a breathtaking place. The exhibition we bumped into was just as astonishing as the indoors (literally full of art and history combined together). I wish I had a chance to visit this place once again, in spring, so that I could admire the garden a little more. Definitely recommend! A huge plus is that you can get there from the center of Tallinn taking one tram (or even walking).

Beautiful place. In winter the park, covered in snow, is worthy of a picture postcard. The baroque palace itself is also interesting and beautiful. In it, the exhibit covers not only the history of the building and its inhabitants, but also contains Russian and European art.

A little paradise where it’s really nice to take walks in the summer. Dedicate plenty of time because it’s worth it: great for the body and great for the spirit. I loved this corner of Tallinn. Don’t miss the visit to the museum inside the park.

Would definitely recommend everyone to go there. It’s like a heaven inside the city. Both the park and the museum are incredibly beautiful. Most of the museum was closed as of August due to a new installation coming up. The halls, paintings, rooms all depict the gothic style. The sculpture room which can be easily missed has some really important sculptures and if you have time you can listen and learn about their historic background.
