Estonian History Museums Tallinn

A museum on Eatonian history existed prior to this. It was open from 1864 to 1940. The gracious Great Guild Hall (1410) has been home to the museum since 1952. It covers Estonian history from prehistoric times to the conclusion of the 18th century. Among the collections, you will find materials of a pharmacist, J. Burchard Mon Faible (1802). There are exhibits on the evolution of Estonian Christianity as well as on secular matters. Where this museum ends up, the exhibits and displays in the Maarjamäe or Orlov’s Palace pick up. In this beautiful 20th century summer home of Count Anatoli Orlov-Davydov from St. Petersburg, you can explore Estonian history during the time of independence. Documents and artefacts lay out the development of the country, its wars and drive for self-government during the 19th century.
