The Niguliste Museum presents a concert evening as part of the exhibition “From Restorer to Conservator”, guiding the audience to Lübeck’s St Mary’s Church, where Danish born organist Dietrich Buxtehude (1637–1707) worked in the late 17th century. A remarkable example of the cultural ties between Lübeck and Tallinn is the Danse Macabre in Niguliste Church, created in the workshop of the Lübeck master Bernt Notke in the late 15th century. Visitors from around the world still come to see it today. A similar Danse Macabre was first completed by the master in 1463 for his home city’s St Mary’s Church (Marienkirche). In 1701, the original Danse Macabre there was replaced with a copy, which was destroyed during the Second World War.
