Admission to the museum
E-tour guide for the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom (available in English, Estonian, Finnish, Russian, German, French and Spanish)
Guided tour (available for an extra fee)

Explore the KGB House and get to the roots of Estonia's occupations, resistance, restoration, and freedom at the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom and the KGB Prison Cells. Your e-tour guide is specially designed to guide you through the museum's permanent exhibition, so get ready for a gripping journey!

Wander five halls and experience the life of exiled Estonians across borders. Enter the period of the Singing Revolution and the restoration of independence spanning from the Phosphorite War of 1987 to 2004, when Estonia joined the European Union.

Then, uncover the unsettling history of the KGB House. It might seem like a humble house on Pagari Street, but if walls could talk, these would speak of hostile totalitarian regimes eliminating their enemies without mercy.

Learn about the USSR's People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, or the NKVD, later known as the KGB. Educate yourself on the past in Estonia's most notorious prison cells - and take a moment to appreciate the beautiful facade that hid the grim truth within.

It might have a dark past, but it's of one of the most elaborate Art Nouveau buildings in Tallinn.

Extraordinary telling of the history of Estonia through 50 years of Soviet and German occupation, and finally liberation in 1991. The personal stories make this a moving and griping experience.
