Kadriorg Art Museum

"Kadrioru Kunstimuuseum, also known as the Kadriorg Art Museum, is located in the Kadriorg Park of Tallinn, Estonia. It is one of the largest and most important art museums in Estonia, housing a collection of over 70,000 works of art from Western Europe, mainly from the 16th to the 20th centuries. The museum is housed in the Baroque-style Kadriorg Palace, which was built in the early 18th century by Peter the Great as a summer residence for his wife Catherine I. The palace was later used by the Russian tsars and the Soviet government, and it was finally opened as a museum in 1975. The Kadriorg Art Museum's collection includes works by some of the most famous artists in the world, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, Poussin, and Monet. The museum also has a strong collection of Estonian art, including works by Johann Köhler, Johann Woldemar Jannsen, and Konrad Mägi. In addition to its permanent collection, the Kadriorg Art Museum also hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year. These exhibitions cover a wide range of topics, from the history of Estonian art to the latest trends in contemporary art. The Kadriorg Art Museum is a popular tourist destination, and it is also a major center for research and education. The museum offers a variety of educational programs for adults and children, and it also publishes a scholarly journal and a series of books on Estonian art."

"The castle was built during 18th century and the castle itself is majestic. Don't forget to take a stroll around the gardens. If you walk from the gardens more up the hill, you will find the presidential castle as well. "
