The exhibition sheds light on the early history of the Art Museum’s collection in the 1920s–1930s, during the first decades of the Republic of Estonia, when ethnographic artefacts, national handicrafts and other items of cultural heritage were collected by the museum, in addition to works of art.

In the new visible storage space on the ground floor of Kadriorg Palace, visitors can explore the museum’s Western European and Russian sculpture collection, comprised of over 250 artworks dating from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
