Museum of Tallinn University of Technology

The history of the TTÜ museum begins on the 22nd March 1971, when the TTÜ (Tallinn Polytechnic Institute - TPI at that time) rector’s administrative order “to set up a scientific council of the TPI museum” was issued. The museum was opened in 1971 in Lai street, Tallinn - in the same building which accommodated the TTÜ library of textbooks. The activities of the museum were carried out under the leadership of Aime Roose, the head of the museum, and in 1973 the first exhibition was held in the corridor of the Mustamäe library building. Photographs and documents from the history of the TPI were exhibited: the exposition was commissioned to the Art Factory ARS, and it was completed by the 50th anniversary of TPI. In October 1986 an exhibition was opened in the museum building, and the total area for that was 92 square meters, but only a 16 square meter room was at the museum's disposal for its main collection storage. There was no advertising or marketing done for the museum at that time.
