Estonian Sports- and Olympic Museum’s new permanent exhibition „The Story of Estonian Sport“ takes you on a trip across the history of sports in Estonia and it tells a story of a small speck of land and colossal wins. It tells a story of the glitter of gold medals but doesn’t shy away from delving into the dark shadows of foul play. But most of all we hope this exhibition inspires our visitors to write their own pages in the grand story of sport!

The exhibition features loads of interesting and never-before seen audio, video and photo materials and has numerous attractions where people can try out first hand different sports situations. These attractions include:
