Art Museum of Estonia
as examples of Nordic painting culture.
The museum has a remarkable collection of over 100 miniature portraits, painted by 17th-
19th century Russian and Western European artists on bone or copper plates. Konstantin
Tooming, an art collector of Estonian origin in Moscow, donated most of them to the museum
in 1972.
The display of sculpture in the Museum of Foreign Art contains works mostly from Italian
and Russian masters (Pietro Tenerani, Matvei Tshizhov). The subject of the works ranges
from the antique mythology to the portraits of outstanding people.
The exhibition contains also furniture, porcelain, glass, and metalwork from 17th-20th
centuries. Russian porcelain, displayed in a separate room, is especially well represented
besides the works of the Western European factories like Meissen, Berlin, and Copenhagen.
The museum has a rich collection of prints that will be the subject of future exhibitions.
