The Naissaar Museum (Estonian: Naissaare Muuseum) is a museum located on the island of Naissaar in Estonia that presents the military history of the island.[1][2] The museum offers an insight into the period when Naissaar was a closed military zone and explains the island’s role in the defence system of the Gulf of Tallinn.
The museum is a branch of the Museum of Coastal Folk Foundation.[1] The museum is located in the old Männiku barracks, which were used until the late 1980s to house Soviet military servicemen,[2][3][4] now part of the village of Lõunaküla.[5]
