The Art Museum of Estonia, which celebrates its 106th anniversary on 17 November, offers art lovers extraordinary experiences at its exhibitions, including masterpieces by such great artists as Lucas Cranach, El Greco, Gerhard Richter, and Flemish and Dutch painters. The entire anniversary-week programme emphasises the museum’s role as an engaging partner for a wide and diverse audience: art speaks to all ages and in all languages.

Opening on 19 September at the Adamson-Eric Museum, The Politics of Slowness is a compelling new exhibition that explores what it means to be human in today’s fast-paced, productivity-obsessed world. Curated by Brigita Reinert and Karin Vicente, the exhibition presents slowness as both a survival strategy and a form of resistance in the face of constant acceleration.

The Art Museum of Estonia is marking the Song and Dance Celebration week with special guided tours across all five of its branches: Kumu Art Museum, Niguliste Museum, Kadriorg Art Museum, Mikkel Museum, and Adamson-Eric. On July 2–4, each museum will host two special short tours daily: at 1 p.m. in English and at 3 p.m. in Estonian.

With the aim of revitalising cross-disciplinary research on Estonian art of the first half of the 20th century and strengthening networks of researchers working in this field, the project brings together scholars from Estonia, Norway, Latvia, Denmark and other countries. The research project was initiated by the Art Museum of Estonia.

In the year 2024, 349,004 art lovers visited the branches, exhibitions and audience programmes of the Art Museum of Estonia. Among them, over 25,100 students and adults took part in educational programmes.

On 17 November, the Art Museum of Estonia celebrates its 105th birthday. According to Chief Executive Officer Sirje Helme, the Art Museum of Estonia, celebrating its 105th anniversary, is an organisation with long traditions, and with great potential for development and success.

On 25 October, the exhibition Kaja Kärner: Friendship and Time will open in the Adamson-Eric Museum. This is the first time that the oeuvre of one of the most outstanding “girls” of the Tartu circle will be exhibited on such a large scale in Tallinn.

The art historian Merike Kurisoo (PhD) has been appointed Director of the Niguliste Museum and Adamson-Eric Museum, branches of the Art Museum of Estonia. She previously served as Programme Manager and Curator at the Niguliste Museum.

The Art Museum of Estonia comprises five museums in Tallinn with a varied exhibition programme. These museums, each with its own image and focus, offer exceptional art exhibitions and a magical atmosphere that make your visit to the Estonian capital unforgettable.

The Proceedings of the Art Museum of Estonia is an annual peer-reviewed scientific journal. The journal publishes original research in the fields of art and museology, as well as texts concerning conferences and exhibitions held at museums.

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. The tours will introduce Estonian art from the Middle Ages to modern times and provide fascinating insights into Estonian cultural history.

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