The Art Museum of Estonia comprises five museums in Tallinn with a varied exhibition programme. These museums, each with its own image and focus, offer exceptional art exhibitions and a magical atmosphere that make your visit to the Estonian capital unforgettable.

This is the largest display of Latin American art in Estonia so far. The exhibition features art from two eras: the Spanish colonial period from the 17th to the 19th century, and the first half of the 20th century.

The Secret of Adam, the solo exhibition of Jevgeni Zolotko, one of the most idiosyncratic contemporary artists in Estonia, will open in the Kumu Art Museum on 31 May. The exhibition explores the relationship between things and language in human life, referring to the story in the Bible where Adam was given the task of naming everything around him. The artist and the museum have dedicated this exhibition to the late curator Triin Tulgiste-Toss (1987–2024).

On 25 May, the Mikkel Museum will open the exhibition The Kügelgens: The Story of One Baltic-German Family, introducing the most prominent members of the family through their artworks and related objects.

A cinema concert in the auditorium of the Kumu Art Museum on 24 May will combine a classic silent film with a contemporary musical experience: the film My Grandmother by Kote Mikaberidze will be shown, with the Finnish experimental music collective Cleaning Women providing the avant-garde soundtrack.

The Proceedings of the Art Museum of Estonia is an annual peer-reviewed scientific journal. The journal publishes original research in the fields of art and museology, as well as texts concerning conferences and exhibitions held at museums.

Guided tours in English, Swedish, Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish and Danish will be carried out by the Art Museum’s curators from 9 May to 12 May in the Niguliste Museum and the Adamson-Eric Museum. The tours will introduce Estonian art from the Middle Ages to modern times and provide fascinating insights into Estonian cultural history.

The exhibition Elisarion: Elisàr von Kupffer and Jaanus Samma will be on display at the Kumu Art Museum beginning 22 March. Elisàr von Kupffer (1872–1942) was a Baltic-German artist, writer and philosopher, and was born and raised in Estonia.

The exhibition There and Back: The Pilgrimages of Livonians in Medieval Europe, open from 9 March in the tower gallery of the Niguliste Museum, provides an overview of pilgrimages in medieval Livonia.
