Anton Hansen Tammsaare Museum

The Anton Hansen Tammsaare Museum occupies a rural house in Vargamäe that belonged to the renowned Estonian writer. The building dates from the late 1800s and contains original furnishings along with five key personal items displayed in black cases.

Tammsaare grew up in this house and his experiences with rural life shaped his most famous work, 'Truth and Justice'. The museum was established to preserve his connection to this place and his literary legacy.

The museum honors one of Estonia's greatest writers and keeps his literary legacy visible. The rooms display how an educated Estonian lived during the early 1900s.

The museum operates from May through September and provides guided tours for groups and schools. Outside, visitors can walk nature trails marked with codes that link to a mobile app for additional storytelling about the location.

The museum uses interactive nature trails with codes that visitors can scan with their phones to hear stories directly at locations that inspired Tammsaare's work. This allows people to explore the landscape while discovering the writer's world.
