Kumu Art Museum
Kumu is the main building of the Art Museum of Estonia and the largest and most representative exhibition place in Estonia. In 2008, Kumu won the title of European Museum of the Year. This is a significant international recognition of Kumu’s ambition to be a truly contemporary art museum and a space for active spiritual activity, from educational programmes for young children to discussions on the nature and meaning of art in the modern world.
Kumu’s permanent exhibition introduces Estonian art from the beginning of the 18th century until 1991, and the changing exhibitions also include international and contemporary art.
