With the help of innovative video and audio effects and multimedia, the birth and evolution of Tallinn, the history of the town’s fortifications and the most significant military events are introduced to the visitor.

The time train in the bastion passages takes the tourist to the year 2219. The rest of the passage display concentrates on the history of the passages.
