The Banned Book Museum in Tallinn displays a collection of banned, censored, and burned books from around the world. Each exhibit, whether featuring past or present banned books, offers a fascinating look into the reasons behind their censorship. It urges you to treasure the freedom of expression and don’t take it for granted.
The Banned Book Museum is hidden in Tallinn's old town in a less populated street, so you may miss it. But it is definitely worth a little detour to stop by. Little tips - don’t forget to check the opening hours as they are closed from Monday to Wednesday.
The Banned Book Museum is more than just a collection of prohibited books; it's a testament to the power of the written word. Admission is free, but you can make a voluntary donation to support this cause.
Highlight: They also hold an online book club every month, so even if you leave Tallinn, you can still participate and support this independent museum.
