Pärnu Museum is renewing its permanent exhibition!
The permanent exhibition '11,000 Years of History' was open until August 20, 2025. Starting from August 21, the exhibition is being changed and is temporarily closed to visitors. During the Fall period, from September 5 to November 30, temporary exhibitions will be open in the 3rd floor hall. Please note that in autumn 2025 entrance to the temporary exhibitions will be from Põhja Street.
The new permanent exhibition will open in winter–spring 2026!
Pärnu Museum has two branches:
– Koidula Museum, located in a mid-19th-century schoolhouse in the Ülejõe district of Pärnu (Jannseni 37),
– and the Red Tower (Hommiku 11), the oldest and only surviving medieval building in the city. There you can explore the history of the former prison tower and medieval New Pärnu, and watch a 10-minute panoramic film about the area’s history.
To truly understand Pärnu, you should start from the very beginning!
Pärnu Museum, Koidula Museum, and the Red Tower will take you on a journey through history. With a combined ticket for the Pärnu Museums, you can deeply explore your destination.
The combined ticket grants you one-time access within a year to all three museum locations:
– the main building of Pärnu Museum at Aida 3,
– the medieval Red Tower at Hommiku 11,
– and the Koidula Museum at Jannseni 37.
