What’s on

The large-scale solo exhibition of the painter Kristi Kongi (1985) offers an immersive spatial experience. In the new works created for this exhibition, colour emerges as the central element, with its fields of meaning unfolding in physical, emotional, and semantic ways.

The permanent exhibition halls of the Kadriorg Art Museum offer a unique opportunity to experience the delicate and demanding art of conserving Old Masters’ paintings and to admire its impressive results. The exhibition is one of three celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Conservation Department of the Art Museum of Estonia.

The exhibition explores the ways stones and rocks have provided inspiration to stonemasons, painters and jewellery artists in different eras. If we listen intently, stones can tell us ancient stories and introduce us to characters whose voices have been silent for a long time.

The collection of myths by the ancient Roman poet Ovid, Metamorphoses, has been called the bible of artists, as the stories describing the power games, love intrigues and physical transformations of the gods have inspired artists throughout the centuries. The exhibition is being compiled with international collaboration and presents a selection of artworks and historical prints based on well-known myths exploring the way Ovid’s work and persona have been interpreted in 17th- and 18th-century European art and literature.

The exhibition seeks new perspectives on images produced during Finno-Ugric research expeditions and the relations between Estonians and Indigenous peoples.

Mart Erik, a third-generation forester, has transferred his love of the woods to his other passion: collecting art. The exhibition presents a selection from this thematically unique and stylistically diverse collection.
