The exhibition brings together two masterpieces of the Late Middle Ages: the Passion Altarpiece in Tallinn and the Holy Kinship Altarpiece from Bollnäs in Sweden.
On the first floor of the medieval church tower, accessible by medieval stairs and a modern glass lift, visitors can explore a display of historical church bells.
A brand-new glass lift that takes visitors to the top of the tower, where they can enjoy unique panoramic views of the medieval Old Town and Tallinn Bay.
The Museum Night’s theme, The Night is Filled with Dreams, invites visitors to reflect on the issues that communities and people associated with the museum dream about, and what the museum of our dreams would look like.
