Located in the wonderfully restored 19th-century Vanemuine society house, this museum exhibits and showcases the history and ideas behind Estonia’s most powerful display of national identity – The Song Festival. The heart and soul of the collection here is a permanent exhibit entitled 'Carrying Our Own Tune', which looks at what makes singing together so powerful and celebrates the 150th anniversary of the first Estonian Song Festival. This historic building is also where the tradition of the Song Festival was born and where the first Estonian kindergarten once operated. In celebration of the 2025 Song Festival year, a new special exhibition opens in May.
