Niguliste Museum

The museum in the Niguliste Church was built in the 13th century. It’s one of the few museums housed in a sacral building.

Here you will find medieval tombstones, unique altars and Tallinn’s most famous artwork, a fragment of Bernt Notke’s painting the Danse Macabre (the ‘Dance of Death’). This five-hundred-year-old painting mediates the worldview of the Middle Ages but is still relevant today.

Don’t miss the silver items from churches, guilds, and the Brotherhood of Blackheads exhibited in the Silver Chamber which are especially valuable.
