University of Tartu Museum

  Lossi 25      +372 737 56 74     01 May 2023
One of three branches of the university’s museum (along with Art Museum and Old Observatory), this division housed in the city’s famous Tartu Cathedral and chronicles the history of the university from its founding in 1632 to the present day, as well as the building’s history. The well-presented collection includes the fascinating University Treasury, Morgernstern Hall and Parrot’s office, bringing the story of the institution to life. ‘The Crazy Scientist’s Office' with many hands-on attractions and interactive fun, will intrigue little ones. From May through September, the same ticket will allow visitors to climb the cathedral towers for some great city views. On November 17, the museum opens a new exhibition “Art or Science” that offers in-depth insight into the relationship between art and science in Estonia. The main focus of the display is on the visualisation of natural sciences and medicine in the 19th and early 20th centuriess, an era in which these disciplines were closely intertwined with racial theories and colonialism. Images, like the history of knowledge in general, are inextricably connected with power.
