- Jenny RTurku, Finland35 contributionsNice experience in beautiful areaThis museum is interesting, versatile and well-planned. The different floors offer different exhibitions; some are modern and some are historic.They also have a café that offers salty and sweet and a nice gift shop where I bought a few cards of my favorite paintings. On the way to the museum you walk through a big park called Kadriorg park, which also has beautiful things to explore. We stopped by the colorful Kadriorg castle and walked around the little park area outside, which was very pretty. We spent a nice half-day at this museum and the area around, and I recommend a visit!Visited November 2022Traveled with friendsWritten October 29, 2023

The museum was interesting in a new modern building. It was a little hard to know where the entrance and exit to the different galleries on the different floors, the signage could be a little better. It wasn't just me, but others near me had same issue. The painting were interesting and was well worth the visit.Visited June 2024Traveled soloWritten July 6, 2024

- jbg74Saint Paul, Minnesota1,099 contributionsGreat Museum With Excellent Estonian ArtistsThis was an excellent art museum. There is a fair amount of modern art which I am mostly not a fan of, but there was a great collection of Soviet era art and an even better collection of 19th and early 20th century Estonian art. There were a couple of good collections of Surrealist art too. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of art and presentation. It is a world class art museum, well worth visiting.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 8, 2024

I must say right away, Kumu is a great museum! But how disgusting and shameful it is to make such expensive tickets!! 12€ for an regular ticket for an adult is almost a mockery of the very idea of enlightenment, which should be the purpose of the existence of any museum. It is all the more shameful that the museum presents magnificent works of Estonian art. Probably it is the popularization of the Estonian cultural heritage that contradicts the ideas of those people who make such high prices for museum visits possible.
At the same time, coming to London you will be able to visit the most important museums absolutely for free! In Warsaw, a number of museums are available for free every day of the week. And as a result, in a week you will be able to visit almost all the main places.
Alas, in Estonia, just coming to the museum (without benefits and special discount cards) turned out to be an expensive pleasure. It's hardly worth being proud of.

Kumu is situated in a nice park a couple kms of Tallinn’s centre. It was not easy to find entrance to Kumu because the navigator did not recognise new oneway streets.
Kumu is nice, not too large in a nice, fairly young building. Entrance fee is not high. The exhibition we visited was good, Estonian female painters, also some Finnish like Schjerbeck and Theslef. They have a cafe too in Kumu with fair prices.

Very interesting museum and architecture of the building. I spent several hours here, discovering lots of Estonian art that I had never heard of. Through the art you also learn a bit about the country's history and people's way of life. I especially liked the part about the Soviet period, and would recommend to start with that.

Excellent introduction to the history of Estonian art, as well as contemporary art. Impressive building complex, closed to the Kadriorg palace and park. I recommend having guided tour, if you don't know Estonian art beforehand. And have enough time, because the exhibitions are large and in several floors.

We visited the Kumu Art Museum during our stay in Tallin. It was an interesting experience with a lot of exhibits of different artists and also an exhibition of Estonian history.
There is also a cafe inside where you eat or enjoy your coffee.

If you like art and history, this museum is a must! The building itself is modern and clean. The art exhibits were diverse, spanning from the USSR era to more recent times. I participated in a group activity which lasted 3 hours. The Team Art digital installation was phenomenal! It feels like you are immersed in an ocean, a garden, and standing around a campfire. If you've been to the Van Gogh digital art experience, it is very similar to that. I recommend partaking in the activities they offer if you have the time. The cafe is also very quaint with wonderful food and coffee options.

Its a lovely art museum with various exhibitions in a beautiful location. Besides, the building itself serves a visit. Its a huge museum. Depending on your interest and time, it may be a good idea to select certain exhibitions, not all. There are various types of tickets available, too. There is a good museum shop as well as the cafe. Must in Tallinn if interested in art.

Bonjour,
Comme beaucoup j'ai été emballé par la visite de ce musée !
Quelqu'un aurait-il noté l'auteur et le nom d'une grande toile représentant un marché aux fleurs, dans un style moderne post réalisme soviétique mais pas si loin (barres d'immeuble et grue à l'arrière plan ...)

How far is it the museum from the old town & is there a bus that goes there
Written June 30, 2017
You can either take tram 1 or 3, or walking along the beautiful coast line, which is my favorite route. The art museum is located in the vicinity of the old royal Summer residence, which is a fascinating art museum itself!
Written July 2, 2017
vorrei sapere se il museo avrà orari di chiusura diversi da quelli indicati nel sito durante le vacanze di Pasqua. Io sarò lì proprio nelle feste e già 3 anni fa ho trovato chiuso...
