Kalevipoeg Museum

Mustvee vald, Jõgeva maakond, 49323

The Kalevipoja Museum, located in Jõgeva County, Kääpa, is named after the Estonian national epic “Kalevipoeg”. In the nearby river lies the sword of Kalevipoja, and around it lie the resting places, stones, springs and furrows of the ancient sangari. This is where you can start a real journey into the world of the Estonian national epic! 
The museum’s permanent exhibition gives an overview of the epic, and you can learn about the most important events in a playful way. Anyone who wishes can listen to the epic as an audiobook or sit in the “Plane” and watch a short film about places in Estonia related to Kalevipoja. Do you dare to try what it feels like to be Kalevipoeg yourself? In a virtual reality adventure, you can pick up your sword and fight Sarviktaat!
