How much do we know about the people who lived and ruled our city in the Middle Ages?

The tour tells the story of the old merchant house that now houses the museum. We look at different stages in the house’s history and at one of its owners, who lived here with his family several centuries ago. Hans Viant, mayor and influential merchant, lived for 500 years in a medieval merchant house at today’s address, Vene 17. This man, who could be called the “Reval Rothschild”, brought together the threads of city politics and finance here. What was the success story of this wealthy merchant, family man and property owner, and what signs did the owner of Vene 17 leave in the architecture?

We will also get to know some exhibits of the Tallinn City Museum.

Duration: 1 hour.

Time and place: 28 November 2026, 15:00, Tallinn City Museum, Vene 17, Tallinn.
