Kihnu Museum

Discover Kihnu Museum – a reflection of the soul of the island's people!

Kihnu Museum is a place where you can experience the unique worldview and vibrant culture of Kihnu Island. Located in the former school building, the museum tells the stories of everyday life on Kihnu, including seafaring, handicrafts, and folk costumes – everything that makes the Kihnu cultural space unique and that has led to its inclusion in UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

You are invited to guided tours and workshops that provide insight into the island's traditions. A cozy souvenir shop offers authentic Kihnu handicrafts and local memorabilia. The museum also hosts important community cultural events, and the second floor can be used for smaller seminars or gatherings.

The museum exhibitions feature the life work of famous Kihnu men and a selection of artistic creations by Kihnu folk artists.

Kihnu Island is easily accessible by ferry from Munalaiu Harbor, with departures several times a day; the journey lasts about half an hour.

Kihnu Island and the museum are waiting to welcome you!
