The predecessor to the Salme Culture Centre was the J. Tomb Club, founded in 1940 in the House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads. In 1965, the new building was finished on Salme Street. With this, the number of recreational clubs increased. During the 1970s, several new clubs and studios were founded for various activities.

Over the last few years, several new collectives have moved into the culture centre because of reorganisation and even liquidation of other recreational clubs in Tallinn. Currently,17 recreational collectives operate at the Salme Culture Centre.

Today, the Salme Culture Centre continues to act as the main Põhja-Tallinn cultural organisation and the largest in Tallinn. Year after year, the Centre has become known as one of Tallinn’s most important concert, entertainment and recreation activity locations. 

The Salme Culture Centre is a cultural organisation of the city of Tallinn operating in the district of the Põhja-Tallinn Government.
