Rakvere Exhibition House

Rakvere Exhibition House hides different exhibitions in it. The historical house, which was completed in 1786, has been a venue for various exhibitions in the time of the Museums of Virumaa.
Since 2002 it has housed three exhibitions related to Estonian history. Exhibitions organised in cooperation with AHHAA, a whole series of art exhibitions and various other displays have also been successful.
Today there are three long-term exhibitions (Inland Revenue Office, Treasury, and History of Spirits), premises for museum lessons and the art exhibition “My Erotica” in the house.
Exhibitions vary. They have different durations and yet they are all interesting in their own way.
