Permanent exhibition
A journey through the Estonian Maritime Museum’s exhibition at the Thick Margrethe Museum and Visitor Centre is a visit to Estonia as a maritime nation!
The story of Estonian seafaring unfolds before you, from the hitherto unexhibited medieval maritime trade to modern-day passenger shipping. Nearly 700 historical artefacts, the Maritime Museum’s rich collection of ship models and nearly 50 digital and hands-on solutions help tell the story.
