The exhibition There and Back: The Pilgrimages of Livonians in Medieval Europe, open from 9 March in the tower gallery of the Niguliste Museum, provides an overview of pilgrimages in medieval Livonia.

The exhibition features works by eight contemporary artists, all of which, in one way or another, explore the concept of balance.

During the birthday weekend, museum visitors can take part in various guided tours, workshops, discussions and individual journeys of exploration.

The exhibition did much more than usual: it was important, it touched and changed the world beyond the borders of the exhibition hall, and it had an impact on the wider museumscape.

The research events held in Estonia, Sweden and Finland in 2021–2023 introduced Tallinn as a mediator and creator of art in the medieval Baltic Sea space to the wider international field of research for the first time.

The new solutions will allow all of our visitors to fully enjoy the history of our building and the exhibition.

According to the chief executive officer of the Art Museum of Estonia, Sirje Helme, the increase in visitor numbers is the result of the dedication of the entire museum staff.

The opening concert of the festival is Doubly Majestic. Two Trumpets and Two Organs on 1 January at 5 pm. 

Opening hours during the holidays.

For the seventh year in a row, the Christmas tree on display at the Niguliste Museum will be decorated by the interior decoration company Shishi. As has become customary, the theme of the Christmas tree will not be revealed until the lighting ceremony.

On 1 December, the exhibition Borderless Universe in Their Minds: Italian Transavantgarde and Estonian Calm Expressionism will open in the Great Hall of the Kumu Art Museum.

A museum dedicated to the Estonian artist Adamson-Eric was opened in a newly renovated building in Tallinn’s Old Town on 2 December 1983.
