During this time, the museum’s other exhibition spaces and towers can still be accessed. These include the bastion passages, the Stone Sculpture Museum, the Maidens Tower, the Lühikese Jala Gate Tower, and the defense corridor connecting the towers. There is currently an exhibition on the Estonian cafe culture in the Lühikese Jala Gate Tower.

Adult €8
