European Day of Languages. Estonian Art (In Swedish)

Guided tour in Swedish in the Niguliste Museum: the permanent exhibition. The guided tour in Swedish, led by Merike Kurisoo, the museum’s director and an art historian, will introduce masterpieces of Estonian medieval and early modern ecclesiastical art.

European Day of Languages

26 September is the European Day of Languages. To celebrate Europe’s linguistic diversity we offer the special programme “Introducing Estonian Art in European Languages”, which introduces Estonian cultural heritage in six different European languages. Guided tours in Swedish, Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish, Estonian and English will be carried out by the Art Museum’s curators on 24 September and 25 September in the Niguliste Museum and the Adamson-Eric Museum. The tours will introduce Estonian art from the Middle Ages to modern times and provide fascinating insights into Estonian cultural history.

The permanent exhibition of the Niguliste Museum displays the most remarkable and valuable works of the medieval and early modern ecclesiastical art of Estonia. Most of the works of art in the Niguliste Museum’s collection originate from the church itself and are displayed in their original locations. The best-known work in the museum is the Dance of Death from Bernt Notke’s workshop. A 7.5-metre-long piece of the original work, completed at the end of the 15th century, has survived.

The tours last approximately 30–40 minutes and are included with museum admission.
No prior registration is required, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early. The meeting point is in the cloakroom near the museum shop.

Whether you’re a local resident, a language enthusiast or an international guest, this is a unique chance to experience Niguliste’s historic atmosphere in your native or chosen European language!
