Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom

A very insightful museum about the lives of everyday Estonians and their struggle for freedom during the Second World War under the Nazi and Soviet occupations...and the eventual oppression from the USSR until their independence in 1991. This experience will throw you into the lives of the people who lived and died through these terrible times of terror and persecution. The stories are sad, but full of hope and positivity to be able to eventually live in a free and independent Estonia. Definitely worth a visit if you love your WW2 and Soviet era history...it's a must! Easy 5 stars!

Very well make exhibition about the resistance and suffering of the Estonian people over the years until the country became liberated. Makes it easy to understand and is moving.

A very meaningful museum that I recommend everyone to visit, highly interactive and is a labour of love to offer an insight into the pain and suffering Estonian people have ensured and persevered.

Great exhibition telling the story of immigration going through years. Beautiful building and expositions. Included in Tallin Card.

Beautiful museum telling intense (and horrifying stories) of the hardships of Estonia. This museum is modern, engaging and well laid-out, i highly reccommend a trip as its one of those visits that will stick with you. I left feeling very grateful for my safe modern life in Europe. They do discounted tickets and entry is free with Tallinn Card. Normal price: 10-12€.

An amazing modern museum with a great variety of interactive exhibits telling stories about people who suffered from the loss of freedom during times of occupation, both as a country and on a personal level when imprisoned or sent to exile. Here, you truly understand the price citizens had to pay to keep their country free and independent. The museum features a very nice headset system that allows visitors to explore information on every item or story in thematic rooms spread across multiple floors. During my visit, there was also an exhibition of posters by the famous Estonian/Ukrainian artist Nikita Titov in the entrance to the gallery.

Superb museum, interactive and very well put together. The only downside was the very surly blonde girl behind the museum counter

Really good guided audio tour. A unique museum experience. It is an amazing accomplishment that so many personal anecdotes and items have been gathered and woven into a unifying narrative.
