Really interesting museum in a superbly restored historical building. Across multiple floors, many fine and unique artifacts are on display here, including findings from the Viking and pre-Christian ages, hidden treasures, and tombs of ancient Estonian wealthy and mighty people ,-) However, it's worth noting that for just a few days, it was possible to observe ancient artifacts confiscated in 2018 at the Russian-Estonian border. After restoration, they are now expected to return to Ukraine.

Honestly one of the most fun and interesting museums I have been to since a long time. Wonderful exhibition nice stories and understandable travel through the history of Estonia. Also very fun to see all the coins and their value next to different products to have an idea of how much the money is worth.

Very kind and helpful staff. I learned a lot here, especially why Estonia didn't become a kingdom. The guild hall area at the bottom was very medieval looking and informative

The Gothic Great Guild Hall was built for the Hanseatic merchants in 1410. It is now the Estonian History Museum. The building itself is worth seeing and the collection is, too.

A lovely museum, not very big but has some really wonderful exhibits. The staff were welcoming and helpful, spoke good English. Descriptions in Estonian and English.
