Estonian Sports and Olympic Museum

The Estonian Sports and Olympic Museum in the centre of Tartu tells the history of sport through interactive exhibitions, genuine sports relics and hands-on activities. Attention is paid not only to Olympic achievements and famous Estonian athletes, but also to how sport has changed along with society and technology. The modern format makes the museum interesting even for those who do not usually choose sports themes: many elements are designed for active visitor participation rather than just viewing displays. The museum is located on Rüütli street, about a few minutes' walk from Town Hall Square, making it a convenient addition to a tour of central Tartu.
