Kalamaja Museum

Kalamaja Museum, a branch of Tallinn City Museum, opened in 2021 in the historic Kalamaja district in Tallinn, Estonia. The museum operates at Kotzebue 16 in Northern Tallinn and focuses on the history, present, and future of the Kalamaja district.

The Kalamaja Museum hosts workshops, concerts, poetry evenings, family days, and performances. It was created with and for the community. A meeting place that invites everyone to contribute and participate, it encourages Kalamaja residents and visitors to explore the district's colorful past, vibrant present, and exciting future..[1] The museum provides support to community members to help them realize their creative ideas.[2]

In 2024, the Kalamaja Museum was awarded with the Silletto Prize at the European Museum of the Year Awards (EMYA) for its community involvement and engagement.[3] See the museum video introduction made as part of EMYA. Additionally, an article by Kalamaja Museum's co-curator Laura Jamsja on the creation of the Kalamaja community museum was featured in the CAMOC Review 2023 Spring-Summer edition, published by ICOM's International Committee for City Museums Collections and Activities (CAMOC).
