Estonian Art in European Languages: Guided tour in Swedish in the Niguliste Museum

The guided tour that will take place on St. Nicholas Day will introduce the fascinating history and iconography of the Rode altar. The tour guide is the curator Merike Kurisoo.

The retable of the high altar of St. Nicholas' Church in Tallinn is one of the most magnificent and best preserved late-medieval northern German altar retables in Europe. The altarpiece was commissioned from the workshop of the Lübeck master painter Hermen Rode, and it was completed between 1478 and 1481.
The exhibition tour is part of the program, which introduces Estonian cultural heritage in six European languages.
