Viljandi Museum

Viljandi Museum is located in a historic old pharmacy building and invites you to explore the history of Viljandi County from prehistoric times to the 20th century. The permanent exhibition on two floors introduces the region's past through archaeological finds, historical items, and fascinating stories.

The rich archaeological collection provides an overview of the prehistory of Viljandi County, and the medieval period is opened by a detailed model of Viljandi Castle, along with finds from the era. Exploring the model will help you better understand the history of the nearby castle ruins before visiting them.

The central exhibit of the permanent exhibition is a large-scale model of a threshing room, which introduces the rural lifestyle and traditional living environment. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that address both local history and broader topics related to cultural heritage.

You can explore the visit at your own pace with the NaviCup audio guide using your smartphone. If you prefer direct interaction and more detailed explanations, you can also order a guided tour for an additional fee.
