History

The museum was established on 1 January 1991 to document, preserve, and inform visitors of the history of Estonian architecture and its development today. The museum began operating in a temporary space at Kooli 7 in Tallinn's Old Town, where the collections were located in the medieval Loewenschede Tower. In 1996, the museum moved to the Rotermann Salt Storage. The building was opened to the public on June 7, 1996.

Building

The arched cellar of the building, which was completed according to a project drafted by Baltic-German engineer Ernst Boustedt in 1908, was space for salt storage. The Salt Storage was reconstructed in 1995-1996 according to a project by architect Ülo Peil and interior architect Taso Mähar (both from the architecture bureau Urbel & Peil). During the course of this reconstruction, the structure - which was originally a single storey - was divided into multiple floors with an intermediary ceiling and galleries in order to thus offer a greater number of exhibition spaces possessing different characters.
