16 Things to See and Do in Tallinn, Estonia (Updated 2025)

"Located in the reconstructed Rotermann Salt Storage building, the Estonian Architecture Museum (established during the independence movement in 1991) houses drawings from the 1920s, an archive of over 11,500 drawings and sketches and a large photo collection, with interesting rotating exhibits that showcase Estonia’s architectural history." - Matthew Kepnes

If you are interested in Estonian architecture and urban planning, you have come to the right place. The exhibition extends over three floors and shows the architectural history of the country in the 20th century. There is currently a special exhibition about Tallinn during the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, when the city hosted the sailing regatta. An interesting presentation. I can recommend it.

If you like architecture and interested in Estonia's near history, this place is a gem. Perfect for kids - added bonus

One of the few museums which we found in Tallinn, which offer free admission for Ukrainians. Really nice and beautiful museum. I liked and enjoyed the most the olympics thing which they have

Amazing! A wide range of exhibits, covering general Estonian architecture, the Olympics in the 80s, and a very cool interactive exhibit in the basement. One of the best museums I've visited!

Definitely worth a visit. There are 4 floors of very interesting exhibits, including one dedicated to the 1980 Olympics where Tallinn was host for the sailing events. In the basement is a very cool sensory exhibit designed for kids. We visited with a ten and twelve year old and they enjoyed it very much.

The former salt warehouse used today as an art and architecture museum. The museum's permanent exhibition introduces the development of Estonian architecture through different years. Temporary exhibition during my visit showed the architects' vision of the houses of the future through contemporary art. I would say that this museum is much more like an exhibition space - for a museum it lacks interactivity.

The permanent exhibition, they have in the basement, is very nice. It does have some tiny problem areas like creaky mirrors and leaky pumps, but still good. I decided to visit it as they showcased Japanese architecture there. As the first visitors for it, I was left with way too many questions. The signage for the exhibition was poor. In the middle they had 20 different projects but the signs in English and Estonian were placed in a way that you would not clearly understand which visual project they belong to. In addition most graphs and items were not translated at all from Japanese and the copy quality was so poor that you couldn't properly understand the foggy kanji even if you were native in Japanese. Also the staff members didn't show much understanding of the event as they failed to turn on so the TVs with the videos and even with the help of IT support failed to turn on simple Android tablets. In conclusion, the permanent exhibition is good, but not worth that much money by itself, but the Japanese expo felt like rude half-baked thing and as a person living in Japan, I found it even offensive. Not that well organized.
