What’s on

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 Dresden State Art Collections and the Art Museum of Estonia present an ambitious collaborative exhibition exploring the intersections of Estonian and German/Saxon art in history and currently.

In the new visible storage space on the ground floor of Kadriorg Palace, visitors can explore the museum’s Western European and Russian sculpture collection, comprised of over 250 artworks dating from the 18th to the 20th centuries.

This exhibition represents one possible approach to the Estonian art of the second half of the 20th century, when it was characterised mainly by conflicts with and adaptations to the new political order established after World War II.

The core of the permanent exhibition of the museum is made up of European and Chinese ceramics and porcelain, and Western European paintings from the former collection of Johannes Mikkel.

The permanent exposition of the Kadriorg Art Museum presents the cream of the foreign art collection of the Art Museum of Estonia, which consists mostly of paintings, sculptures and applied art from Western Europe and Russia from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
