The Art Museum of Estonia was housed in several different temporary spaces, until it moved back to the palace in 1946. In September, 1991 the Kadriorg Palace was closed, because it had totally deteriorated by then.

During the archeological excavations in 1954 the Roman Temple of Mithras was revealed. It was a pagan temple dedicated to the Persian Sun-god. The Temple was later reconstructed only a short way from its original site and the relics are displayed in the Museum of London in the Barbican.

A century later the name was changed to Yekaterinenthal after Yekaterina, wife of Peter I. Kadriorg Palace was designed in Baroque style by the Italian Niccoló Michetti and built in the 1720s on the order of Peter the Great in honour of his wife. The tsar himself is known to have laid three bricks in the foundation of the building. The palace was also planned to serve as a summer house for the tsar's family. For a long period, Kadriorg Palace housed the Art Museum of Estonia, but after thorough repairs over quite a few years it was finally opened as the Museum of Foreign Art in the summer of 2000. There is also a Baroque-style garden behind the palace. The Swan Pond and the area round the palace are the oldest parts of the park. The President's Residence does not lie far from Kadriorg Palace. The house was designed as an administrative building by Alar Kotli in the 1930s.
