The Art Museum of Estonia is introducing the Estonian cultural heritage in six European languages
The branch museums of the Estonian Art Museum that are located in the Old Town of Tallinn have put together a special programme, which introduces the Estonian cultural heritage in six different European languages.
Guided tours in English, Swedish, Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish and Danish will be carried out by the Art Museum’s curators from 9 May to 12 May in the Niguliste Museum and the Adamson-Eric Museum.

“Among the residents of Tallinn, there are representatives of many different nations. Our goal is to share the Estonian culture with those residents and visitors to Tallinn who do not speak Estonian, and to provide them knowledge about Estonian art and history in their own languages,” explained Karin Vicente, a programme manager-curator of the Art Museum of Estonia.
There are two different art museums in the Old Town of Tallinn: the Niguliste Museum, located in a former church building, displays mediaeval and early modern ecclesiastical art, and the Adamson-Eric Museum, located in a historical citizen’s house, displays the oeuvre of Adamson-Eric, a classic of 20th century Estonian art. Both museums provide information on exhibitions in English and Estonian, but during the special programme, five more European languages will be added. The museums can be visited separately or with a common ticket available at a discounted price.
With the special programme “Introducing Estonian Art in European Languages”, the Art Museum of Estonia commemorates Europe Day. On 1 May 2024, Estonia celebrates its 20th anniversary of EU and NATO membership.
Participation with a museum ticket.
