Conflicts and adaptations. Estonian Art of the Soviet Era (1940-1991)

Permanent exhibition

This exhibition represents one possible approach to the Estonian art of the second half of the 20^th century, when it was characterised mainly by conflicts with and adaptations to the new political order established after World War II. The way Soviet authorities understood the role of art and artists in society was radically different from the attitudes which shaped art in the pre-war Estonian Republic.
