Tartu Museums and Tartu Art Galleries
(Tartu, Tartumaa, Estonia, EE)



The museums of Tartu cover an array of different subject matters, with a number of quality art galleries showcasing Estonian art works at their very best. Particularly noteworthy is the Tartu University Art Museum, which has become known for its extensive collection of plaster casts of many sculptures from ancient Greece.

The Tartu Art Museum is another of the city's cultural attractions not to miss and is located on the central Raekoja Plats. Formerly the residence of Colonel Barclay de Tolly (1761 - 1818), the Tartu Art Museum was constructed partly above the remains of an old town wall, which has given the building a rather famous lean.




Illustrating how a burgher lived in the city during the 1830s, the 19th-century Citizen's Home Museum is also home to many period furnishings. A big hit with children of all ages is the Toy Museum, where you will find rocking horses, dolls, trains, tin soldiers and countless other toys from the past 100 years, so be prepared for a trip into yesteryear, often resulting in some fond memories of childhood.

One of the most important archives in the whole of Estonia is the Estonian Literary Museum, which contains a host of Estonian folklore memorabilia and cultural artefacts. Something for lovers of beer, the history of the brewing process is explored at the A Le Coq Beer Museum, focusing on the various machines involved in creating the famous local tipple, where can be sampled at the end of the tour.
