The Theatre and Music Museum on Müürivahe Street in the Old Town is easily recognisable by the medieval Assauwe Tower. This historic tower features an idyllic courtyard, accessible during the museum's opening hours. Visitors can also enjoy a brief overview of the tower's 600-year history.

From March 28, the Theatre and Music Museum will unveil a new exhibition: ‘I Want to Play!’
This engaging, hands-on exhibition is designed for both adults and children, inviting visitors into the exciting world of music and theatre and revealing behind-the-scenes magic usually hidden from public view.
Every step of the journey is a playful experience. Visitors of all ages can become a composer or conductor and stand before a full orchestra, or try their hand at being a set designer, make-up artist, lighting technician, or musician across the museum’s three floors. In doing so, everyone becomes part of the production team, contributing to the enchantment of the stage.
Music and theatre come to life through interactive activities, featuring captivating props, resonant instruments, set models, elaborate wigs, talking costumes and more. Informative exhibits explaining how productions are created share the spotlight with a wide selection of the museum’s treasured pieces.
While the exhibition has been developed with children aged 7–11 in mind, it is best enjoyed with the whole family. Offering space for creativity to flourish, it provides context, background stories, and tips to spark children’s interest in music and theatre through immersive, hands-on experiences.
