A nice little museum of local history. Good to visit before the castle ruins. It also has some stuffed Estonian wildlife.

The museum is quite small,but they have done a very nice job of portraying the history of Viljandi. When strolling in the old town, it is worth an hour's visit. I would suggest visiting the museum before touring the castle grounds. Having a bit of Viljandi history in mind will help you appreciate the castle.

We loved it, the kids loved it. Not too big. And interesting to watch. Also for the children when You explain the story behind.
Only the toilet is difficult to get into.
