Visiting this museum helps visitors to understand and appreciate the Estonian people, their courage and determination as well as their pride. The experience begins when visitors open a large, heavy metal door to enter the museum, which houses artifacts from the 20thn century occupations and also includes videos of people who lived through those horrendous years. Some pieces (such as... More

If you have an interest in all that went on in different cities during the world wars, this is a must, full of information & gives you a perspective from other parts of the world that we over look who also suffered during these dark times

Not over the top - well laid out and in 3 languages. Recommended for a quick stop (30 mins)

Interesting part of there history, small museum takes about an hour to go round.

Declaration of independence 1918, war of independence v Germany and Soviet Union through to 1920. 20 years of getting by then a deal between Germany and USSR. USSR steps in 1940. Germany pushes USSR out 1941. USSR pushes Germany out and stays until 1991 none of which was much good to the Estonians.

This museum could have been more interesting. It gave a good background to the Sovier invasion in 1940 and the Post war Soviet occupation and the hardships endured bu the Estonian populace.

Tells the story of the Soviet occupation - which you've probably never heard before. Chat to the staff if it's quiet - for real insights into those dark days
