Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945
The permanent exhibition “Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945” tells the story of Estonian art as it evolved through Estonia’s multi-ethnic history, growing into a heritage that blends Estonian, Baltic German and Russian traditions. The focus is on the role of art in society and in shaping the identities of diverse communities.

They Began to Speak
They Began to Talk is an international group exhibition, which takes the intertwinement of the body and the environment as its point of departure, in an era marked by rapid environmental change and inequality. Sudden changes in the physical environment, often caused by human activity, can evoke mental suffering in land-based communities. Stored in the body, this trauma is passed on to future generations, who perceive it as an interruption in their relationship with their surroundings. The exhibition brings together the practices of artists working in this region with those from indigenous communities in the Nordic countries, exploring the possibility of recovering and cultivating a sense of connection.
● 25th May 2025
The Mei Sisters: Avant-Garde and the Everyday Life
The sisters Kristine (1895–1969), Lydia (1896–1965) and Natalie (1900–1975) Mei entered the Estonian art life in the second half of the 1910s. They included in their works themes and viewpoints that were unusual for female creators, rising into the ranks of the classic masters of Estonian modernism by using marginal and less appreciated techniques. The exhibition contains drawings, watercolours, small sculptures and collages, as well as everyday items and unique handmade booklets authored under pseudonyms. Besides socio-critical attitudes, which were very unusual for female authors, we also find re-interpretations of canonical artworks.
