Marzipan Philosophy

Innovation is just being a little better than yesterday

The idea of creating the Marzipan Gallery arose during the trip of the founders of the Gallery abroad more than 20 years ago. Traveling around the countries of Central Europe and getting to know their common cultural background, but also their peculiarities, inspired them to delve into the culture of their own homeland upon arrival home.

Turned out that even such a small country as Estonia had something to share with the vast world.

Goals and dreams

With faith in your heart you will go far

Marzipan Gallery – combines several goals:

The promotion of the history of marzipan
The place in the Historic City of Tallinn, where it is interesting to spend time with the whole family
An opportunity to reveal their talents to marzipan handycraft masters

Family business

Overcoming difficulties strengthens the relationship

Although we are known in our hometown as a small family business, the history of our development is saturated with stories that bind together many people of different cultures, ages and views. We started quietly, step by step, without making loud statements, we hatched the idea with trepidation and care, and without creating artificial boundaries, we can be proud that new members from all over the world are added to our small, initially, family of people who are not indifferent to marzipan.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

The title says it all. I actually don't like Marzipan, but we wondered around the old town of Tallinn and my wife just wanted to see the display. Then she convinced me to taste Pistachio Marzipan and I was totally blown away. My biggest regret from visiting Tallinn is not buying enough of this stuff.

This shop offers an ecstatic trip to senses as you delight your taste, nose and eyes with the amazing variety of marzipan edible figures, candies and chocolates. If you bring your children they can build their own marzipan figures for only 4euros! There is a museum under the shop with large colorful figures made from marzipan!

The popularity of marzipan lies in the history of Reval as Tallinn was then called. It was part of the Northern Hansa towns through which goods moved efficiently, also the recipe for marzipan from Lubeck. You can buy the sweet here, enjoy it with a cup of coffee, model or paint it yourself and finally visit the exhibition of larger figurines in the basement.

Just wandering down the cobblestone street of Tallinn when we saw this amazing shop/Gallery! Went in and was blown away by all the Marzipan sculptures! We were told to go downstairs and have a look around as well. There we encountered more sculptures... Life size, cartoon characters, buildings, animals... Worth the time to go and see!

Difficult to resist a small sample of various flavors of marzipan, so stopped in for a snack and drink. Upstairs were groups of little kids making marzipan shapes. Downstairs was the "museum" of lots of marzipan figures. Still, I will remember it as the only marzipan museum I have been to and it was free, so I have to like that.
