  • Yes, I know art is in the eye of the beholder and I'm saying that made our group so uncomfortable with distaste for genitalia stuff that we left the floor to see something else. It was offensive...

  • Wonderful museum with a good mix of national art, old and new. Enjoyed the selection of Soviet-era work as well. The grounds are beautiful and cafe is yummy. A national treasure!
  • 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing Galerie with lots of history, permanent exhibitions and Temporary ones! I really Like, it is big and I can explore the whole day… and I'll get a good overview in a few hours. The arts and paintings feel very close, reachable and the atmosphere is peaceful. The gift shop is Super cute
  • KUMU is a great experience if you want to discover Estonian art. I mostly appreciate the contemporary exhibitions which have a great narrative and tell you the story behind. There are also interactive parts for engagement but in my opinion they are isolated and not very welcoming you to create. The museum is accessible by wheelchair. I do not know if they have special materials for people with visual impairment and hearing loss or any other special needs.
  • Beautiful modern building, not too big, not too small, hosting a lot of arts, mostly paintings from different period of estonia.. entrance fee for adults are €12, english is written in many of the exhibition. Its a very nice time to spend if you have a lot of time in Tallinn.. location is also easily access from downtown Tallinn, surrounded by parks, if you have 1 free day then its a good idea to go exploring the area as well..
  • My favourite art museum in the world and not just because it is in the city I was born. The curation is superb with the write ups for all the item providing context without overriding personal interpretation. Lovely experience the ever changing visiting exhibition are also stellar.
