Estonia, Tallinn
The Kumu Art Museum is the largest in the Baltic region and one of the largest museums in Northern Europe. It is one of the four branches of the Estonian Art Museum, which also houses the main office.

Kumu has both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The main collection covers Estonian art from the 18th century, includes works from the Soviet period (1941-1991) and shows both Socialist Realism and Unofficial Art. Temporary exhibitions present foreign and Estonian contemporary art.

The museum was built between 2003 and 2006. Kumu received the 2008 European Museum of the Year award from the European Museum Forum.

The Kumu Art Museum presents works by Estonian artists from different years. The museum building is very interesting both inside and outside, and in itself is a "work of art". The museum has a lot of light and space, it is pleasant to be in it. The collection of the museum is not very large, and viewing the paintings will not tire you in time. There are a lot of landscapes of Reval (Tallinn) - it is pleasant to realize that much of what we see now in the center of the Old Town has passed through the CENTURIES almost unchanged.
