The Pledge of Freedom: The Art Collection of Mykolas Žilinskas exhibition will open at the Mikkel Museum on 8 November, introducing the audience to the best works from the collection of Lithuania’s foremost art collector of the 20th century, from magnificent paintings by Old Masters to 20th-century art.
From Friday, 24 October, the Great Hall of the Kumu Art Museum will host a high-profile joint exhibition by the Art Museum of Estonia and the Dresden State Art Collections, Spiegel im Spiegel: Encounters between Estonian and German Art from Lucas Cranach to Arvo Pärt and Gerhard Richter. After a successful run in Dresden over the summer, the exhibition will now open in Estonia. It is being curated by Kadi Polli, Marion Ackermann and Sergey Fofanov.
Starting on Friday, 17 October, Kumu will host the exhibition Tu and Whozzy, created especially for children. This playful exhibition expands on the permanent exhibition of older Estonian art, Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945, and invites visitors to join the characters Tu and Whozzy in discovering how art reflects who we are, helping them to understand themselves and others better.
