Olena Zelenska, the wife of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, delivered a video greeting at the opening of the exhibition Futuromarennia: Ukraine and Avant-Garde that recently opened at the Kumu Art Museum.

The display will include more than 100 original artworks – paintings and drawings, designs for books and posters, theatre costumes and scenography – as well as historical photos and video materials.

A lift now leads to the skydeck and provides a unique view of the entire horizon, including the city of Tallinn and Tallinn Bay.

The exhibition includes works by prominent painters: Alvar Cawén, Väinö Kunnas, Jalmari Ruokokoski, Tyko Sallinen, Yrjö Ollila and others.

The book introduces the Kumu Art Museum’s new permanent exhibition Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945, opened in February 2021 on the 3rd floor of the museum.

The starting point of the current issue of the Proceedings was the conference Women Artists in Baltic and Nordic Museums, which took place on 5 and 6 March 2020 in the Kumu Art Museum in connection with the exhibition Creating the Self: Emancipating Woman in Estonian and Finnish Art.
