From Mittens to Köler
The exhibition sheds light on the early history of the Art Museum’s collection in the 1920s–1930s, during the first decades of the Republic of Estonia, when ethnographic artefacts, national handicrafts and other items of cultural heritage were collected by the museum, in addition to works of art. The exhibition is dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the Art Museum of Estonia.
