House of Peter the Great Museum

The House of Peter the Great is Tallinn's oldest museum, opened already in 1806, and is a valued historical monument in the picturesque Kadriorg Park.

The museum's permanent exhibition features many well-preserved original items used three hundred years ago, as well as unique paintings and sculptures.
In the early 18th century, this modest yet dignified building served as a summer residence for Russian Emperor Peter I during his visits to Tallinn, as from the terrace, he could see the sea and the city.

Today, the house operates as a branch of the Tallinn City Museum, where visitors can explore the emperor's lifestyle, 18th-century interiors, and the era's material culture. Preserved furniture, paintings, and personal items create an immediate connection to the past and provide a vivid impression of the living conditions of the time. The building's cozy atmosphere and historical value make it a unique destination for both culture enthusiasts and visitors to Tallinn who wish to discover the city's rich and diverse heritage.
