The Tallinn City Museum branch at Pikk 29a street, also known as the old merchant house from the Middle Ages and the location of the artist Ants Laikmaa’s first studio school has long reflected the heritage and traditions of the different peoples living in Tallinn and their contribution to the cultural heritage through its exhibitions. At the beginning of 2023, the exhibition “The Power of a Woman” presented the memories of several Tallinn women of Slavic origin through folk costumes. Most recently, the museum had an exhibition by the Russian-Polish architect Aleksandr Wladovsky. The Mustamäe exhibition, which is still on view, continues to discuss the multicultural city district. The future exhibition will focus on men’s lifestyle insights and garage owners from various ethnic origins.
