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.
According to the chief executive officer of the Art Museum of Estonia, Sirje Helme, the increase in visitor numbers is the result of the dedication of the entire museum staff.
Kaja Kärner (1920–1998) was one of the central figures in the legendary Tartu circle of friends, the first informal group of artists in post-World War II Estonia. She created abstract compositions with a good sense of rhythm and colour, collages and genre paintings which capture the overall tonality of the era with subtle shades of colour and hidden irony.
