Tartu Kunstimuuseum

Beautiful building, cool that is tilted. In terms of art and gallery just average. Good to visit if nearby strolling.

I really liked it, it was not quite the usual exhibition.One should first read the titles and info about presented art, because all of them had some deeper meaning (and not to be discouraged by first expression)

Aeg-ajalt on päris huvitavad näitused rahvale näha toodud. 3 eri korrust võimaldavad erinevaid ekspositsioone teha. Asukoht täiesti kesklinnas. Rohke kraamiga meenete müügi tuba.

It has three floors with an exhibition in each floor. I don't think there is a permanent exhibit, so each visit might give a different experience.Currently, there is a photographic exhibition about the artist's sister, one about Ado Vabbe, who influenced later Estonian artists and was referenced in other art museums, and book illustrations. I liked the latter.

The exhibition is too small and not very interesting (with a few excemptions). It doesn't worth the 6€ entry fee. It was a little strange that with the same amount of money we entered the Latvian museum of art in Riga which is 5 time bigger and with great pieces of art.

They have 3 floors of exhibitions and a workshop room. The atmosphere is a bit gloomy but the selection of artists and art pieces are very good. Lovely inexpensive souvenirs in the shop.

Tartu Art Museum was founded in 1940, and resides in its current, tilted house on Raekoja plats since 1988. (Btw: don't believe the plaque saying the house is called after Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, one of the Russian generals in the war against Napoleon in 1812: it was bought by his widow. Not every historical-looking plaque is trustworthy.) The museum has an extensive collection of Estonian and Baltic German art, largely (yet not only) by artists connected to Tartu, and arranges exhibitions both on the basis of its collection as well as concerning other themes, historical and contemporary, ranging from private collections and collectors to the painful questions of cultural memory to the problems of designing and discusing the public space. Whenever you have time in Tartu, it is definitely a museum worth visiting.

Väga meeldis uus väljapanek esimesel korrusel. Teise korruse klassika (Viiralt ja Okas) on alati naditav.

Külastasin toredat kunstinäitust Tartu agulist, nähtuna erinevate kunstnike silma läbi.
