Estonian History Museum – Great Guild Hall
Located in Tallinn’s 15th-century Great Guild Hall, itself a spectacular relic of Tallinn’s past that’s well worth a peek, this museum showcases Estonian history from ancient times to the end of the 18th century. From May to September the museum will host the exhibition "By Fire and Sword. 800 years since Christianization in Estonia."
The Great Guild, an organization uniting the city’s wealthiest merchants, played a major role in city politics in medieval times. The guild’s enormous hall has managed to retain its impressive 15th century look, and is now home to the Estonian History Museum.
