Kadriorg Art Museum
About

Set amid the tranquil beauty of Kadriorg Park, the Kadriorg Art Museum is a cultural jewel housed in a splendid Baroque palace commissioned by Peter the Great in the early 18th century. This elegant residence, originally built as a summer retreat for the Russian imperial family, now hosts Estonia’s premier collection of foreign art, spanning Western European and Russian works from the 16th to 20th centuries. Gilded stucco ceilings, grand halls, and period furnishings enhance the experience, immersing visitors in both artistic mastery and royal ambiance. Highlights include paintings by masters such as Cranach, Caravaggio’s circle, and Repin, as well as rotating exhibitions that add contemporary dialogue to the classical core. Surrounded by fountains, manicured gardens, and leafy promenades, the museum offers a serene escape just minutes from Tallinn’s centre—a perfect blend of art, history, and imperial grandeur.
