Mart Saar house museum

The Mart Saar house museum is a biographical museum in a traditional wooden building in Hüpassaare dedicated to an Estonian composer's life and work. The ground floor contains personal items, photographs, and musical instruments that document his daily life.

The house dates from when the composer settled there to advance his musical work. After his death in 1963, it was transformed into a museum to preserve his legacy and surroundings.

The house shows how an Estonian composer lived his daily life between music and family responsibilities. The rooms give a sense of how Mart Saar found inspiration and created his works.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available by advance reservation. Visitors should check ahead to confirm hours and ensure staff are available for your visit.

The museum sits at the edge of Soomaa National Park and borders directly on the Hüpassaare nature trail. This location links a visit focused on music and history with opportunities to explore forests and wetlands in the immediate surroundings.
