KGB Cells Museum

KGB Kongide Muuseum is a historical museum located in the basement of the building at Riia 15b in central Tartu. It features former pre-trial detention cells used by Soviet security agencies to hold prisoners. The preserved premises and documentary exhibition tell the story of political repression, the fates of prisoners, and resistance to the totalitarian regime in Estonia. Exploring the cells offers a way to understand history through authentic space rather than just photographs and archival materials. The museum's theme is serious and requires a thoughtful visit.
