The Museum of Estonian Architecture, founded in 1991, focuses on collecting, researching, and displaying 20th-century and contemporary architecture.
The Museum possesses a very good archive of drawings and design projects from the 1920s to the 1930s as well as from the Soviet period, and also a photo archive and a constantly-expanding collection of models. Active engagement with the issues surrounding contemporary architecture is important to the Museum too, as residing in a very quickly-changing era means an obligation to analyse and acquaint today’s living environment to the greater public.
The Museum communicates actively on the international level – it is a board member of the International Confederation of Architectural Museums (ICAM) and has good relationships with both Nordic and European architectural institutions. Since 1996 its permanent home has been the historical building of the Rotermann Salt Storage – one of Tallinn’s most outstanding examples of industrial architecture.
