About this tour
This session looks at the art museum's striking limestone exterior and the sculpture garden surrounding it, all from the grounds of the historic park it sits within. You see how the modern building was set into the natural slope, then a few outdoor sculptures that hint at the collection inside. It is a short, art-focused session in an unusual setting.
I check sound at the museum entrance, then walk the grounds at an easy pace, pausing at each sculpture for questions. A short note on the collection inside follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone interested in modern architecture or contemporary art. It also pairs well with a Kadriorg Park session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
