Virtual Tour: Estonian War Museum (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 12:00:08 +0000 UTCThe Estonian War Museum (Eesti Sõjamuuseum) is located at Mõisa tee 1, 74001 Viimsi, Estonia (just outside the capital Tallinn). For opening hours and entry fees, please check their web site:
The museum is housed in what used to be the residence of the Estonian Army commander, converted into a museum after Estonian independence. It has two main floors; the bottom houses a series of exhibits on Estonian military history, and the upper story displays a remarkably large number of small arms, plus uniforms. At the time of filming, the temporary special exhibit (open until March 2025) was a really good collection of small arms and explosives from World War Two. An additional building a few hundred meters away contains a collection of armored vehicles and artillery - don't miss this if you visit.
Many thanks to the Museum for giving me access to film couple of their particularly rare Estonian firearms in addition to this tour!

with such HEAVY weapons that looks like the right place to... relieve of its burden... if all hell brakes loose. stuff seems fit to generate some serious hurt on someone. did I spot a pinzgaur in there? austrian vehicles in estonia?

(having) work(ed)ing in a museum that "on a monday when it is usually closed" sounds oddly familiar😂. small but nice. I don't mind lots of text. so in such a building one lives as a general, huh. keeps the rain off, I guess. damn.... beats your enlisted quarters by a little bit.
