Tallinn\u2019s bus station is now offering passengers something unique, namely famous Estonian works of art on display amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As a result of cooperation between the Art Museum of Estonia and Tallinn Bus Station, six large-scale works have been brought to the bus station, bringing culture into the journey in a tangible way.<\/p>\n

The station’s outdoor platforms feature works by great names in Estonian art history, such as Kristjan Raud<\/b>, Eduard Wiiralt<\/b>, Konrad M\u00e4gi<\/b>, Nikolai Triik<\/b>, Enn P\u00f5ldroos<\/b>, and Elmar Kits<\/b>. These works are familiar to many Estonians, and now tourists can also explore them while waiting for the bus.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between the Art Museum of Estonia and Tallinn Bus Station began in 2021, and exhibitions have previously been held at stations in Tartu and Rakvere, among others. This year, Tallinn\u2019s bus station turns 60, and the Art Museum of Estonia turns 105. To celebrate these anniversaries, art is also expanding to the outdoor platforms. The aim is to bring even more visual joy to passengers, and enrich public space with art.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Art Museum of Estonia is delighted to work with Tallinn Bus Station to bring classics of Estonian art into people\u2019s everyday lives. In the anniversary year of the Song and Dance Festival, it is particularly significant that Enn P\u00f5ldroos\u2019 \u201cPidulised\u201d (1975) will also be brought to the city space. The work immortalises a special moment when thousands of people gather as if for a song festival, to experience togetherness. May it be an inspiration for visiting museums, going to parties, or taking a bus trip,\u201d says Piret J\u00e4rvan<\/b>, Marketing and Customer Service Director of the Art Museum of Estonia.<\/p>\n

According to Kadriann Raud, Marketing and Communications Manager at Tallinn Bus Station, the bus station has served as a kind of gateway to song and dance festivals for 60 years, and bringing art to the outdoor platforms celebrates this role as part of the broader anniversary programme.<\/p>\n
