The permanent exhibition halls of the Kadriorg Art Museum offer a unique opportunity to experience the delicate and demanding art of conserving Old Masters’ paintings and to admire its impressive results. The exhibition is one of three celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Conservation Department of the Art Museum of Estonia.

The collection of myths by the ancient Roman poet Ovid, Metamorphoses, has been called the bible of artists, as the stories describing the power games, love intrigues and physical transformations of the gods have inspired artists throughout the centuries. The exhibition is being compiled with international collaboration and presents a selection of artworks and historical prints based on well-known myths exploring the way Ovid’s work and persona have been interpreted in 17th- and 18th-century European art and literature.

The permanent exposition of the Kadriorg Art Museum presents the cream of the foreign art collection of the Art Museum of Estonia, which consists mostly of paintings, sculptures and applied art from Western Europe and Russia from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
