Museum of Estonian Architecture — Attraction in Tallinn

The permanent exhibition, they have in the basement, is very nice. It does have some tiny problem areas like creaky mirrors and leaky pumps, but still good. I decided to visit it as they showcased Japanese architecture there. As the first visitors for it, I was left with way too many questions. The signage for the exhibition was poor. In the middle they had 20 different projects but the signs in English and Estonian were placed in a way that you would not clearly understand which visual project they belong to. In addition most graphs and items were not translated at all from Japanese and the copy quality was so poor that you couldn't properly understand the foggy kanji even if you were native in Japanese.

Some of the 3-d models are moving, all of them are carefully crafted and extremely detailed. You can spend forever looking at each of them. The staff were so nice and helpful as well. Only wish we could have made it there earlier so that we had more time to explore the interactive...

Very interesting if you like architecture. Absolutely loads of great 3D models of houses and buildings to look at which was my personal highlight.

And it's a little out the way so it's not too busy with tourists at all, but not so far out that it's a pain to get to. The staff are helpful and friendly too. Definitely my favourite of all the museums I...
