Museum of the Estonian Swedes

This quaint museum has relics, photos, old fishing nets and a marvellous tapestry tracing the 1000-year history of Swedes in Estonia, up to their escape back to Sweden on the Triina in 1944. Antique whistles and other instruments used in Swedish-Estonian music are another feature.
