Estonian History Museum - everyone should visit.

Estonian History Museum - the history of Estonia is one of sttruggle and war. The Swedes, the Danes, The catholics, The Lutherans, the Poles, The Russians, The Germans again and then the Russians again all have fought wars in Estonia. Estonia finally gained independence in 1991. According to the world happiness index Estonians are the second most unhappy nation in the world ( I don't know who is worse off) - but all the Estonians we have met are pretty happy - and somewhat amazed that Australians a) know about Estonia and b) bother to come to Estonia. I would reccomend anyone coming to Estonia and I would like to come back.
The Estonian History Museum armoury has some excellent multimedia displays showing how weapons actually worked.
