Kadriorg 306. Games in the Palace’s garden “Under the Spanish Sun”
The 306th birthday celebrations of the Kadriorg Palace and Park will take place on two days this year: we will start on Sunday, 21 July with a playful programme for families with children called Games in the Palace’s Garden, and the celebrations will culminate on 22 July, when those interested will be treated to excursions in the park and museum and a spectacular performance-concert, “Spain’s Passionate Rhythm”.
Throughout history, Kadriorg has been a true meeting place of cultures. This summer, the Kadriorg Art Museum invites you to explore Spanish art at the exhibition España Blanca y Negra: Vision of Spain, from Fortuny to Picasso. The playful activity stations celebrating the 306th birthday of Kadriorg Palace and the adjoining park offer insights into the Spanish world. The Games in the Palace’s Garden take place in cooperation with the museums located in the historical buildings of Kadriorg; exciting experiences are offered by the Kadriorg Art Museum, Peter the Great’s House, the Children’s Museum Miiamilla and the Mikkel Museum.
The activity stations of the Games in the Palace’s Garden are open from 12 pm to 4 pm Participation is free!
