    Small but very important! An important part of history for Russians and Estonians. Highly recommended!

    Another nice historic house museum is the Peter the Great museum, it is only a few minutes walk from both Kumu and Kadriorg Palace art museums and it will tell you a little bit of a story about Peter the first, and it is only €2 and 10 minutes of your time and it will ensure it stays open in the future

    Small, "bite-sized" museum in the original house lived in by Peter the Great. Worth the 15-20 minutes you need to see everything.

    Hes not our culture and i don't mean no offence to russians, but i really enjoyed the museum by itself. The guide was very usefull and friendly for all ages. I've been there for two times and the final i enjoyed it much more than the first time. Thanks!

    3 rooms with cellar. Nice to know that Peter lived there. Is one of the oldest museums in the world, but interesting? Not really, there's not much to see, a price of €4, but there's just more in Tallinn.

    I won't leave any feedback on any service nor the place anymore in written, because i don't believe it can change something. I think no feedback needed actually, as people know themselves how and what they do, how they behave, how they communicate to different customers - if it is asocial or some rich person. Clothes or speech manner are not the factor about the customer. As these are not the factor about the one, who serves the customer. But I hope for the better.

    I expected more from Peter the Great. It is not much, maybe 4 rooms.

  • 1/5 Kyle W. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely rude woman at reception literally ignored me after I told her I just wanted to peek in. It's a beautiful place, but such rudeness is so disappointing. What a bummer!

    A small but interesting museum, detailed the home of Peter the Great while at Tallinn. The house is dwarfed by the nearby palace, only completed after his death

  • 2/5 Angelina B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is almost 6€ & there are 3 rooms to look at, not much furniture to tell a story. Seems very overpriced for the experience/happiness point of view.

  • 5/5 Christine B. 1 year ago on Google
    What an obscure little gem.Peter the Great spent some time here. Have some original furniture belonging to Peter there. Some great portraits of Russian Royals on show, that you don't usually see.Well worth a visit only the size of a holiday chalet.

  • 4/5 George A. 4 years ago on Google
    A quick visit, worthwhile to learn a bit about Peter and Catherine

  • 5/5 Vitaly S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Arthit Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Small but fine museum. Staffs were very nice.

  • 4/5 Nacho B. 4 years ago on Google
    Small but quite interesting. Worth a visit if you have the Tallinn card :)

  • 4/5 robert i. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little venue for visitors interested in Peter I and his connections/influences in Estonia.

  • 5/5 Klaus W. 4 years ago on Google
    Small but really informative and a jewel of a place. This is the oldest museum in the city, established as such in the 19th century in a former residence of Peter the Great that was so attractive to tourists they just had to make it a museum The objects are all original and as far as learning goes they have a movie of about 20 minutes that presents the history of the house Staff is very kind and helpful, it's not so touristy either, I was alone during my visit

👍👍 Where have these people been who have given Proto only one star?! We had amazing time with my 21-year-old son. Yes, 21. So it's definitely not just for kids. Yes, there was lines, and yes some of the attractions didn't work yet. But have you people ever been in Disneyland? You might need to stand in...
