Housed in an art-nouveau building which was once a theatre and bank, this museum focusses on the local area, with displays on natural history, archaeology, Soviet-era deportations, everyday Soviet life and local hero Alfred Neuland, winner of the gold for weightlifting at the 1920 Olympic Games. Most captions are in Estonian, but there are booklets with English translations. Before visiting the attached gallery, it's worth peering through the streetside windows to see whether the exhibition takes your fancy.
