A deep dive into atmosphere of Gulag. If you want to get a feeling what it was like to be behind the bars in the Soviet prison, this the place.

It is a "sad" place where lots of people suffered during the last century. It is one of the places where you have to visit in order not to forget the past and be careful not to make the same mistakes in the future.

Unique experience of visiting a prison used by the communist regime. Its not just a prison, but a museum detailing the horrors which happened behind closed doors. A lot of information about the prisoners which were housed here, but only those which were jailed for political reasons. The museum is quite short, so don’t rush through it expecting a full prison tour.

We loved the experience. Authentic, large enough to spend some time in, while not as large as to nit be able to enjoy. I took a few pics that are fantastic for wallpapers and left emotionally shaken and wanting to remember. Definitely a must see in Talinn.

Very good exhibition with text and pictures. Must see as part of history of Estonia and all baltic countries. Reachable by bus tours or walk
