Sillamäe Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:43:21

Until very recently, this little museum was jam-packed with fascinating Soviet-era relics, including uniforms, flags and large portraits of Lenin and Stalin. Now Lenin and his mates have been banished to a branch in the Sillamäe Cultural Centre (Kesk 24) and displays of dolls and teddy bears have taken his place. The excellent mineral display remains, alongside some rather dry coverage of the local extractive industry. More interesting is the room set up like a 1950s flat.

The building's a little tricky to find; it's set back between Kajaka and Majakovski streets, a block up from the water.
