Object list
The University of Tartu Museum is located in the heart of Tartu – in the cathedral on Toome Hill – and its exhibitions present the history of the university and its research. Here, you will also find fascinating exhibits about Tartu Cathedral, the Crazy Scientist’s Lab and interesting temporary exhibitions.
Description
The museum is located at Toomemägi (Toome Hill), which can be reached without stairs by several uphill footpaths:
Starting from behind the Town Hall building along Lossi Street, you will pass under the Angel Bridge on the way.
Starting from Vallikraavi Street and continuing by Lossi Street, you will pass under the Devil’s Bridge on the way.
Starting from behind the main building of the University of Tartu along a steep climb up the hill, you will pass a children’s playground to the right of the path.
Tartu Cathedral is located at Toomemägi on a small natural elevation. Several short staircases and three footpaths lead to the elevation. One of the paths starts near Café Rotund and has a cobblestone pavement. The second path starts from the car park of the Supreme Court opposite the cathedral. The third path starts at the statue of Kristjan Jaak Peterson and makes a circle around the cathedral ruins.
The museum entrance is on the Supreme Court side of the cathedral. The entrance is marked by flags above the museum door.
The entrance to the cathedral has a smooth slope. There are no stairs or high thresholds.
Since the museum does not have a car park, it is recommended arriving at Toomemägi on foot, by bicycle or by public transport.
Visitors with reduced mobility can be taken to the museum entrance by car, but the vehicle, which must leave immediately, can be parked in a public car park. Information on public parking in Tartu: https://tartu.ee/en/parking.
There is no hearing loop at the service desk. The audio guide does not have a sound transmission system. On the fifth floor, there is a tactile model of the church that reflects the actual layout. There are no other signs or indicators in Braille or tactile print. There are no guiding paths. Guide dogs are allowed.
