Kalamaja Museum

Kalamaja Museum is a small neighborhood museum focused on everyday local life — a great add-on to a Kalamaja/Telliskivi day when you want context, not a marathon museum visit.

Why It’s Worth Visiting

Kalamaja’s charm is in the everyday details — wooden houses, local rituals, and the way the neighborhood feels lived in. This museum makes that story easier to see.

It opened in 2021, so it feels modern and approachable rather than dusty and formal.

How to Build It Into a Day

Kalamaja Museum works best as a small anchor between wandering blocks:

  • Market lunch at Balti Jaam → museum stop → street art in Telliskivi → dinner and a bar night
