Adamson-Eric Museum and its collection

Adamson-Eric Museum
Source

The Adamson-Eric Museum is located in a historic residence on a romantic stepped street in Tallinn's Old Town and is dedicated to the work of Adamson-Eric (1902–1968), one of the most versatile Estonian artists of the 20th century. His distinctive paintings and applied art are characterised by elegance, subtle colour choices and wit. Adamson-Eric’s rugs, porcelain and ceramics were awarded two honorary diplomas (Diplômes d’honneur) at the 1937 International Exposition in Paris. Through various temporary exhibitions, the museum introduces Estonian expatriate art, the works of women artists and the oeuvres of Adamson-Eric’s contemporaries, with a focus on classical modernism; and contemporary art on current themes in relation to Adamson-Eric's works and way of thinking.
