Kumu Art Museum
About

Rising from the slopes of Tallinn’s Kadriorg Park, the Kumu Art Museum is Estonia’s flagship venue for visual arts—a striking fusion of contemporary design and cultural heritage. Opened in 2006, its angular limestone and glass architecture reflects both bold modernity and a deep connection to the landscape. Inside, Kumu offers a compelling journey through Estonian art, from 18th-century classics to avant-garde and post-Soviet works. Visitors encounter both permanent exhibitions tracing national identity and provocative temporary shows that engage with global themes. As part of the Art Museum of Estonia, Kumu also serves as a cultural hub with film screenings, concerts, and educational programmes. Whether you're an art connoisseur or a curious traveller, Kumu provides a nuanced, visually rich experience that captures Estonia’s creative spirit in all its complexity.

Kumu Art Museum is located at Valge 1, set dramatically on the limestone cliff between Kadriorg Park and the Lasnamäe district in Tallinn. As the main building of the Art Museum of Estonia, Kumu is the country’s largest and most important art venue, renowned for its striking modern architecture and extensive collections that span Estonian art from the 18th century to the present day. The museum is easily accessible by public transport, car, bicycle, or on foot, and features two main entrances—one from the lush Kadriorg Park side and another from the Lasnamäe district. Nearby, you’ll find the beautiful Kadriorg Park, a vast green space perfect for strolls, and the historic Kadriorg Palace, which houses the Kadriorg Art Museum.
