In order to better match the donations of helpful citizens of Tallinn with the urgent needs of war refugees from Ukraine, Tallinn is organising a collection of everyday items in the district administrations from Thursday, 10 March.
Last Sunday, Tallinn started the tradition of Museum Sundays, with free admission to city-owned museums on the first Sunday of every month. Interest in free museum visits was higher than expected on the opening Sunday in all museums.
From March, visitors will be able to visit Tallinn’s museums for free on the first Sunday of every month. The Museum Sundays with free admission is a practice common to many cities in the world.
This weekend, 21-22 May, residents of Haabersti, Mustamäe, Nõmme and Pirita will be able to dispose of both hazardous waste and reusable items at a collection stop near their homes.
Every resident of Tallinn at least 14 years old can take part in Tallinn's participatory budget vote, which opened on Monday, and vote for up to two ideas of their choice in their own neighbourhood.
The penultimate week of November is European Week for Waste Reduction. Among other environmentally friendly activities, this week in Tallinn you can recycle your unwanted but well-kept items.
The Tallinn City Government has assigned the name of Ukraine Square to the so far unnamed square in Lembitu Park in the Sibulaküla subdistrict of Tallinn city centre.
In March this year, Tallinn launched the Museum Sundays initiative at city-owned museums to raise awareness of museum activities and improve access to culture. During 2022, the initiative has attracted a large number of visitors, with 14 museums and exhibition halls now participating.
The first free Museum Sunday of 2023 will take place this Sunday, 8 January. The initiative will be joined by the Nõmme Museum, located in the former station building.
