Audio Guide (Acoustic Experiences)

As part of the improvement of the accessibility of the Niguliste Museum, five audio descriptions have been created for the visually impaired and the blind. These are the architectural description of the Niguliste church and the descriptions of the museum’s most precious treasures: Bernt Notke’s “Dance of Death” and the three late medieval altarpieces. Since the works are very detailed, the descriptions are extensive and can also be listened to independently on the museum’s YouTube channel, Soundcloud and our website. The audio guide can be borrowed from the museum’s ticket counter, which includes directions for movement and a regular audio guide, besides the descriptions.

Educational programs (General)

The Niguliste Museum also offers groups of pre-schoolers and schoolchildren an opportunity to admire the oldest art and cultural legacy preserved in Estonia. Educational programmes for children aim to supplement classroom lessons on history and art history in an authentic environment to reinforce acquired knowledge. For the youngest visitors, we have designed playful and creative museum lessons using active learning methods.

Electronics (Complementary Offer)

Deaf and hearing impaired people can borrow a tablet computer for their visit containing sign-language translations of the most valuable works in the exhibition. Tablets can be borrowed from the ticket office and the sign language translations are also available on YouTube. Deaf people can also use hearing loops and neck-loop antennas in the museum.
