Our museums recount the history of Tartu to anyone interested. All of the museums focus on different periods in the city’s history. The museum buildings and locations are of historic value and complement their fields of specialisation.

Tartu City Museum is an umbrella organisation comprising five museums of equal importance:

  • Tartu City Museum
  • Song Festival Museum
  • KGB Cells Museum
  • Oskar Luts’ Home Museum
  • 19th-century Tartu Citizen’s Home Museum

Come and experience the history of Tartu through our exhibitions, tours and events!
