Have you ever spent a night in a museum? This week it’s possible. The Seaplane Harbour museum (Lennusadam) in Tallinn will organise a special Night at the Museum event on Friday, November 17, to which the whole family is welcome. During the evening, you will get to know all about the Vikings.

Every visitor to the museum can also participate in a raffle, the main prize of which is a night on the Lembit submarine. A unique experience that is sure to spark the imagination. Best of all, Lembit is located inside the museum, so you don’t have to fear the cold or loneliness.

Even though just a limited number of people can participate in the museum night. Fortunately, the event is held twice a year. If you cannot participate this time, you should follow the news on the official Lennusadam website to find out when it will happen next.

The event is for the whole family, however, children must have at least one adult with them. All visitors must also bring their own sleeping bag and sleeping pad.
