A collection of discarded Soviet statues sits in the garden behind Maarjamäe Palace, including figures such as Joseph Stalin and a giant head of Vladimir Lenin, many crafted between 1945 and 1990 by Estonian artists. Visitors can view these relics from the Soviet occupation era with accompanying information about each statue's subject, original location, and reason for removal. The statues are accessible without purchasing a museum ticket, though the garden is only open when the museum is operating.
