Concert Estonian Chromatic Kannel – a New Old Instrument 03/06/2023 | 12:00

The exhibition brings together two masterpieces of the Late Middle Ages: the Passion Altarpiece in Tallinn and the Holy Kinship Altarpiece from Bollnäs in Sweden.

The collection in the Niguliste Museum holds the most remarkable and valuable part of the medieval and early modern ecclesiastical art of Estonia. Most of the works of art in the Niguliste Museum’s collection originate from the church itself and have been displayed in their former locations.

Each Saturday and Sunday, starting at 4 pm, traditional organ music performances take place in the museum. Classical and modern organ music is played by the Niguliste Museum organists Andres Uibo and Tiit Kiik.

The exhibition space on the two floors of the Small Chapel features medieval (13th–16th-century) sculptures and altarpieces from Estonian churches.

On the first floor of the medieval church tower, accessible by medieval stairs and a modern glass lift, visitors can explore a display of historical church bells.

A brand-new glass lift that takes visitors to the top of the tower, where they can enjoy unique panoramic views of the medieval Old Town and Tallinn Bay.
