What’s on

This unique private collection in Estonia provides an overview of Delftware, which represents a significant chapter not only in the artistic heritage of the Netherlands, but in the broader narrative of European applied art in the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection includes items designed after Chinese and Japanese porcelain, as well as tableware decorated with local motifs: Dutch landscapes and scenes from everyday life.

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 of Central and Eastern European contemporary art focuses on motherhood as a personal experience and also looks at it from a broader social perspective. The theme is mainly interpreted through the motif of fear. The exhibition looks for ways to overcome fears and broaden the concept of motherhood.

The new permanent exhibition highlights the versatility of the artist as a delicate painter, as well as a renowned creator of applied art who revealed the richness of his ideas and dynamic movement between various fields of art.
