Tartu City Museum

Furniture, war stories & urban history

Just east of the Emajõgi River, across the so-called Stone Bridge from the city centre, the Tartu City Museum (Tartu linnamuuseum) offers an easy-on-the-eye display of furniture, prints and porcelain in a lusciously restored eighteenth-century mansion.

Exhibition highlights include a round table of truly Arthurian proportions, around which the Estonian–Soviet Peace Treaty was signed on February 2, 1920; and a fascinating model of Tartu as it was in 1940 – free of the Soviet-era tower blocks that now clutter the suburbs.
