Adamson-Eric Museum

The Adamson-Eric Museum is a compact Old Town art museum dedicated to one of Estonia’s best-known modernist artists — a quiet, thoughtful stop on a Toompea-to-Town-Hall walk.

Why It’s Worth a Quiet Hour

Not every museum visit needs to be a half-day commitment. Adamson-Eric is a great “small and specific” stop — especially if you’re already walking the Toompea side of Old Town.

A Good Old Town Route

Pair it with nearby sights so the day flows:

Danish King’s Garden → museum → Toompea viewpoints → Town Hall Square

Pair It With Another Old Town Museum

If you want a deeper “Old Town art + history” day, add one more museum nearby:

Niguliste Museum for medieval atmosphere
Great Guild Hall for Hanseatic history
