Estonian Theatre and Music Museum, Tallinn

The Estonian Theatre and Music Museum is a very popular location in Tallinn. The institution was started in 1924, and was designed to become a permanent home for the collected works of Peeter Suda. Suda’s materials included original folk songs, notes, and a very special musical library. The place was founded by renowned artist August Pulst.

Since 1934, it has been located in the old medieval tower of Assauwe, as well as the surrounding building. The museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and educating people about Estonian theatre and music. The works of many famous European Composers can be found here. An important addition to this museum is the apartment displays of Andres Sarev. The four room apartment used to be the home of Andres and his wife Anna.

Every year, the museum gives out an award to some deserving Estonian musicians. It is based on the gifts left to the institution by Heino Eller. Eller was a pioneer in the country of symphonic music and chamber orchestras.
