At Christmastime, the museum takes on an especially atmospheric appearance when the interior design company Shishi decorates the museum\u2019s striking Christmas tree. This year\u2019s decoration theme will remain a secret until the tree\u2019s official unveiling on the first Sunday of Advent, 30 November. The Christmas season and its related programme will continue at the museum until 7 January 2026.<\/p>\n

When visiting St Nicholas Church, be sure to also stop by the nearby Adamson-Eric Museum. Located on a romantic staircase street in the Old Town, this cosy museum presents works by the legendary Estonian modernist Adamson-Eric<\/b> as well as changing exhibitions. Tip: with a combined ticket, entry to both museums is cheaper. The museums are open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.<\/p>\n
