Themed Tour in the Permanent Exhibition “Landscapes of Identity”. The Worldview of the Baltic Germans in the Works of Carl Sigismund Walther and Other 19th‑Century Artists (in Russian) 04/06/2026 | 18:00

A themed tour on permanent exhibition “Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945” and in the accompanying project room exhibition “Carl Sigismund Walther: in the Artist’s Living Room”. The tour is led by art historian and Director of the Kadriorg Art Museum, Aleksandra Murre. The event is in Russian.

During this thematic tour, we will explore the portraits and landscape views created by the (Baltic) German artists who lived and worked in Estonia in the 19th century, focusing on the lifestyles and values reflected in their works. Particular attention is given to the versatile artist and educator Carl Sigismund Walther, who played an important role in shaping local art life and art education. Thanks to the project‑space exhibition and the accompanying monograph, visitors have the opportunity to learn more about the life and work of this remarkable master.

The event is part of the public programme of Kumu’s permanent exhibition “Landscapes of Identity: Estonian Art 1700–1945”. The permanent exhibition tells the story of Estonian art as it evolved through Estonia’s multi-ethnic history, growing into a heritage that blends Estonian, Baltic German and Russian traditions. The focus is on the role of art in society and in shaping the identities of diverse communities.

Participation is free of charge with an annual pass to the Art Museum of Estonia.
