Today, Narva Museum is a fascinating blend of history and art, featuring the iconic Narva stronghold, the charming Northern Courtyard, and an impressive Art Gallery. These aren't just static structures; they pulse with stories and creativity. The castle's exhibition takes you on a journey through time, unraveling Narva's history from the 13th century all the way to the dawn of the 20th century.
In 1991, the Art Gallery swung open its doors, offering a fresh venue for both Estonian and international art exhibitions. It also showcases the museum’s own art collection, adding layers to the cultural experience.
A significant addition came in 2007 with the opening of Põhjaõu, nestled in the Northern Courtyard. This area brings to life the artisan district of the 17th century, giving visitors a peek into the craftsmanship of the past. It's a place where history and imagination meet, offering a rich tapestry of experiences. And here's a fun fact: Narva is the third-largest city in Estonia and sits right on the border with Russia. This unique location makes it a melting pot of cultures, adding an extra dash of intrigue to your visit. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or an art lover, Narva Museum promises a memorable adventure.
