Esileht esiletoodud ürituste ja näitustega

The exhibition, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ülo Sooster, an inimitably playful creator and a significant reformer of Estonian post-war modernism, displays works that belong to private collections.

Reigo Kuivjõgi, a gallerist, art collector and populariser of contemporary art, is a well-known figure in the Estonian art scene. The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the works of many Estonian artists, from established greats to the emerging talents of the youngest generation.

Mykolas Žilinskas (1904–1992) was one of the most enigmatic figures and the leading art collector in 20th-century Lithuanian cultural history. Žilinskas, an émigré in West Berlin, amassed a collection of more than 1,600 works. He donated them to his country of birth, expressing his wish to strengthen the Lithuanian national spirit. Old Masters’ paintings, historical decorative arts and works by contemporary artists make up the best of the collection.
