The free-entry Sunday at Tallinn City Museum branches will exceptionally take place at the end of the week, on 12 April, following the Easter holidays. The last free-entry days of the spring season are also 3 May and 7 June, and after the summer break the event will continue on the first Sunday of every month starting from September.<\/p>\n
The city museum\u2019s normally paid branches include the Kalamaja Museum, the Kiek in de K\u00f6k Fortifications Museum with its underground bastion passages, and in Kadriorg the Miiamilla Children\u2019s Museum, and the Peter the Great House Museum. In the Old Town, free entry this Sunday is available to the Museum of People (focusing on local communities and ethnic minorities) on Pikk Street, the Museum of Urban Life on Vene Street, and the Photography Museum located in the alley behind the Town Hall.<\/p>\n
To avoid queues and overcrowding indoors, visitors must register in advance by obtaining a free ticket for each visitor \u2013 including children \u2013 from the city museum\u2019s website<\/span><\/a><\/span>. Tickets are released about a month in advance, and some museums may already be fully booked. It is also worth noting that the Moomin exhibition currently on display in the Kiek in de K\u00f6k tower until the end of September is not included in the free-entry programme due to the narrow staircases, and the space will therefore be closed on that day.<\/p>\n Free Museum Sundays have been organised in Tallinn since spring 2022. A useful overview of the temporary exhibitions currently on display in each museum can be found here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to the City Museum, six other museums in Tallinn have joined the free Museum Sunday<\/span><\/a><\/span> initiative. One of the most interesting among them is the Estonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Eesti Kaasaegse Kunsti Muuseum or EKKM, which operates only during the summer in an unheated industrial building next to Linnahall and the Kultuurikatel event centre.<\/p>\n The exhibition space was established 20 years ago in a slightly punk-inspired spirit within a decaying building, and its identity includes a certain sense of perpetual incompleteness. While spontaneous art initiatives are often short-lived, EKKM has over two decades secured a firm place in Tallinn\u2019s public urban space, and in Estonia\u2019s art scene.<\/p>\n The anniversary season opens from 11 April to 5 July with the K\u00f6ler Prize finalists\u2019 exhibition, which is free to the public. The \u20ac15,000 prize, sponsored by EKKM and the Estonian indie video game studio ZA\/UM, will be contested by five Estonian contemporary artists: Anna Mari Liivrand<\/b>, Darja Popolitova<\/b>, Hanna Samoson<\/b>, Keiu Maasik<\/b>, and Taavi Suisalu<\/b>\u2014each presenting a new work in the EKKM exhibition hall. An international jury will select the winner, and the public will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite for a \u20ac5000 audience award. The K\u00f6ler Prize gala will take place on 12 June.
