We visited Kadriorg Park to escape from the hordes of tourists in the old town and stumbled upon what remains an enduring memory of Tallinn. Having experienced the grandeur of the Peter's palaces in St Petersburg a few days before, it was wonderful to see how humbly Peter the great chose to live in Tallinn. This small house museum gives a different glimpse of Peter's life. It is recommended that one first watches the excellent video presentation in the basement to set the scene before wandering freely around the other rooms. This museum is not to be missed.

Free with Tallinn card. Museum is small but worth it. Peter the I really lived here and you can see old historic furniture as well. Very nice ladies working in the museum.

I actually enjoyed viewing this house better than seeing the palace! The girl at the guestwas most engaging and helpful. The museum has been wonderfully furnished in the manner in which it would have been in Peter the Great’s time. I thought the short film in the downstairs room was helpful at explaining the history of the house. A must see with the excellent Tallinn Card.
