Estonian Museum of Natural History — Attraction in Tallinn

My wife & I were really looking forward to visiting this museum in the short time I spent in Tallinn during this visit. We planned visiting it on Sunday morning, arriving there at the opening hour. After walking from the hotel for 15 minutes, we arrived at the museum and saw a small paper sign saying that the museum is reserved for 4 hours (half its work-day).

The displays are done beautifully and I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of fauna and flora.

For 10 eur, I think it's a fair...

This is a tiny museum with a nice exposition on the estonian flora and fauna. They provide various prepared specimen and a lot of derails. The target group seem to be kids and young people from Estonia as most of the texts are provided in estonian language. Luckily, they also provide some website with audio guides in english. Hence, don't forget your headphones and earbuds if you are not an native speaker. Due to the small size of the museum with 3 different floors and 2 rooms at each floor, one to two hours are sufficient for a full...
