Kadriorg Art Museum

The three visited museums in Estonia by the foundation were The Kadriorg Art Museum, the Mikkel Museum and the Niguliste Museum. The European art in the national collection of Estonia is thus housed in different buildings.

The Kadriorg Palace was restored and adapted to its current museum function. Tsar Peter the Great started the construction and named the palace after his wife Catherine I. The name Kadri is a detoriation of Catherine. The Dutch and Flemish masters in the art collection of Estonia have been housed here since 2000.
