The Art Museum of Estonia, which celebrates its 106th anniversary on 17 November, offers art lovers extraordinary experiences at its exhibitions, including masterpieces by such great artists as Lucas Cranach, El Greco, Gerhard Richter, and Flemish and Dutch painters. The entire anniversary-week programme emphasises the museum’s role as an engaging partner for a wide and diverse audience: art speaks to all ages and in all languages.
The exhibition reveals the behind-the-scenes work of conservators through 20th century art, highlighting the unique characteristics of the materials, techniques and life cycles of artworks. Conservation extends the life of modern works of art which are often fragile, and helps to ensure that they can be enjoyed in the future.
Opening on 19 September at the Adamson-Eric Museum, The Politics of Slowness is a compelling new exhibition that explores what it means to be human in today’s fast-paced, productivity-obsessed world. Curated by Brigita Reinert and Karin Vicente, the exhibition presents slowness as both a survival strategy and a form of resistance in the face of constant acceleration.
