The People’s Museum of Tallinn, a branch of the Tallinn City Museum, brings together the city’s diverse cultural venues while mediating, preserving, and appreciating the ethnic and cultural variety of the region’s historical legacy.

 The Tallinn City Museum branch at Pikk 29a street, also known as the old merchant house from the Middle Ages and the location of the artist Ants Laikmaa’s first studio school has long reflected the heritage and traditions of the different peoples living in Tallinn and their contribution to the cultural heritage through its exhibitions.

The street it is located was one of the city’s trade zones in the Middle Ages. A number of historical details have been preserved in the house, starting from the facade and ending with the vaulted ceiling and wall paintings of the second floor. The building has been rebuilt several times, but its medieval layout can still be guessed.

The People’s Museum of Tallinn introduces the changes in the architecture of the house over the centuries, intertwining the cultural history and the people related to the house.
