Kumu Art Museum

After spending enough time in Kadriorg Park, make your way to the Estonian Art Museum's administrative center, the Kumu Art Museum, a renowned institution. In addition to housing a sizable collection of modern art, it also functions as a versatile venue for events and initiatives that promote learning.

Classic works of Estonian art from the 18th century until the end of World War II are on display in the major permanent exhibition, which is located on the third level. There are three featured musicians: Johann Köler, Kristjan Raud, and Konrad Mägi. Tourists can see from the arrangement of the works how Estonian mentality and regional art styles evolved concurrently in the Kumu Art Museum.

A more recent addition to the permanent display, located on the fourth level, focuses on Estonian art produced during the Soviet era. The collection delves into the numerous challenges of creating artistic works while adhering to the Communist Party's rigid standards as well as the changes that happened when constraints on the arts loosened as we approached the 1980s.

Another ongoing exhibit on that level shows how Estonian art changed in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The museum's fascinating temporary displays, which explore a variety of mediums and expressions, are worth checking out if you want an even deeper immersion in local art than the permanent collections offer.
