Museum Card
- Digital and Personal
The Museum Card is digital and contains a QR code, which will be sent to your email address.
It is linked to the cardholder’s personal identification number, ensuring only you can use it.
Museums have the right to request identification and report fraud.
- Use QR code or ID
In the museum, you can show your Museum Card QR code on your phone or print it out for your convenience.
If you can’t find your Museum Card on your phone and you have an Estonian ID code, then show your ID at the museum entrance.
- Valid for One Year
The Museum Card is valid for one year from the first museum visit or, at the latest, six months after the card is personalized.
If you haven’t used the card within six months, the one-year validity period starts automatically.

No, it does not. The digital gift card has a one-year validity period, during which the recipient must personalize the gift code, i.e., register it in their name. The registered museum card becomes valid from the first museum visit, or, if no visit is made, it activates automatically after six months.
