Some museums are really worth a visit. That's how I felt about the Saare Kek Museum. Fascinating and well-curated, this tells a story of living in Estonia during the 70s and 80s Soviet occupation. It is filled with interesting objects and personal stories that make you stop and appreciate today. The curator was also super kind. So appreciated the tips about where else we should visit on the island and hearing her happy childhood stories. Something there for everyone. Also, all exhibits are translated into English, Russian, Finnish, and Estonian. One lf those places you randomingly stumble over and it ends up exceeding all your expectation. Small about the and working of a soviet border outpost. Owner gave us a tour and was very passionate and knowledgable. The simulated bomb attack in a shelter and climbing up the steep watch tower definetly also were highlights. 10 Euro very well spend! Remarkable unique experience showcases (in detail) in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 80s. There is plenty of useful information to read. Due to the failure of the Soviet Union to provide everyday resources, ordinary people had to rely on ingenuitity to somehow build their own from whatever they could find. Lawnmowers, rotovators (using wheels from a child's tricycle), even cars (or be on a waiting list of up to 30 years to get one). Моей семье очень понравилось, рекомендую очень интересно! A sentimental trip to the past. Worth seeing. It is important to show to young generation how manual and creative people of H2 of XX century were Definitely recommend to visit this museum. The founder is very nice. You can see a lot about the Soviet without getting depressed. The story and descriptions are very well written it’s very engaging. You can also try the old soda machine from the Soviet times. It’s great for a few hours. A place worth visiting. Although the exposition is not large, everyone will find something interesting Nice place for club music night! 👍 This was a spectacular, entertaining and lovingly curated little about in Soviet-occupied Estonia/Saaremaa. The staff were very kind and welcoming, and it was full of fascinating artifacts to explore with accompanying text in Estonian and English (and Finnish, if I recall correctly). There was also a special exhibition of photo portraits and biographies of a hundred or so Estonians born from the 1920s to the present. I would absolutely recommend visiting if you're in Kuressaare and are interested in history, particularly the local perspective on this fraught and complex era. And don't forget to make your own Soviet lemonade. :) Įdomus muziejus, su tų laikų autentika. Perkant bilietus truputį papasakoja apie šitą muziejų. A about how poeple lived their regular lives under soviet occupation. Exibits are very illustrative, explanations interesting and involving, I wanted to read everything. A great example how good has to be! Ticket price - 5 Eur. Spend were almost 1,5 hours. The two ladies working here are so friendly and helpful. The escape room was quite cool too! Great memories for Soviet time people. Very cool about the harsh and absurd everyday in the Soviet times. Omg I remember how the first Western plastic bags were such a rarity that we used them as school bags. And to have a banana or an orange was a very special event... The exhibition said that if the smallest budget-supermarket of today's Estonia could be transported back into the 1980s it would have been by far the best shop in the Soviet block and people would have organised shopping trips to it from all over Estonia and even other states 😁 yep, probably. Definitely worth a visit, the texts are also in English. When you are from ‘the west’ and remember the fall of the wall, this is a must see place. Experience the hardships and inventiveness of the people behind the iron curtain, displayed and explained in a wittingly critical way. Interesting, funny, loved it, we had a great time there during a heavy rain. It would be a 5 star if it was a bit longer, now it is a 4.5. Отличное место, не такой большой, но посмотреть есть много чего, так же есть газировка с того самого аппарата с газировки . Если вам такая тематика, то вам точно туда. Тем-более билет всего 5 евро, а эмоций на весь день. Добавлю пару фото, для легкого понимания. Ļoti interesants muzejs ir daudz ko apskatīt. Very powerful trip to the past! Not the experience we had hoped. Lunch was below average.
