About

Tucked into the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, Draakoni Gallery is a vibrant showcase of contemporary Estonian art. Founded in 1983, the gallery originally highlighted works by members of the Graphic Artists Society. After a brief hiatus, it resumed exhibitions in 2003 and now features a dynamic mix of modern painting, graphic art, and photography by both Estonian and international artists. Housed in a striking Art Nouveau building adorned with dragon motifs, the gallery also serves as a sales outlet and participates in art education initiatives. Its cellar occasionally hosts performance art events, adding to its eclectic charm. Draakoni Gallery remains a key destination for those seeking insight into Estonia’s evolving visual culture.
