Boasting a sturdy, circular facade topped by a conical roof, this tower is delightfully fringed by lush greenery and landscaped lawns. With its name meaning ‘Peep into the Kitchen’ in English, the aptly-titled tower is enshrouded in a legend by Ivar Leidus which establishes that it once housed soldiers who had a particular penchant of looking into the kitchens of the houses that rested beneath. Having undergone many a restoration work during its heyday, the tower is complete with a network of stairways, cavernous passageways and historic cannon balls which yet sit implanted onto its thick, outer fabric. Having played an integral role in many significant wars that were waged between Estonia and other nations, the tower has been instrumental in being one of the many landmarks which have helped carve out the course of Estonian history. Today, the tower houses an elaborate museum, which, with the help of ancient arms, ammunition and artifacts, duly chronicles the origins of Tallinn, and its legendary history that unfolded therein. +372 6 44 6686 linnamuuseum.ee/kok/ [email protected] Komandandi 2, Tallinn Museum of Occupations "Get Occupied" The Museum of Occupations covers the Nazi and Soviet occupation of from 1940 to 1991, when Estonia was alternately occupied by the Soviet Union and Germany.

    Eesti Meremuuseum Eesti Meremuuseumi XIV teaduskonverents Suur Tõll 100 – muuseumlaev või laevmuuseum Tallinn 2014 Christian Ostersehlte (1959) Lõpetanud Kieli Ülikooli ajaloo erialal (PhD). Töötanud muuseumides, arhiivides ja merendusettevõtetes arhivaarina. Ehitajad: Vulcan-Werke laevatehas Stettinis 20. sajandi algul Stettinis asunud Vulcani laevatehast peetakse üheks 19. sajandi lõpu ja 20. sajandi alguse Saksamaa üheks tehnoloogiliselt arenenuimaks laevatehaseks. 1851.aastal asutasid Hamburgi töösturid Franz Friedrich Dietrich Früchtenicht ja Franz Wilhelm Brock ühtse laevatehase, inseneriettevõtte ja valukoja Bredowis (alates 1900. aastast Stettini äärelinnaosa). Algusest peale oli neil kavas ehitada teraskerega aurulaevu, sellega oli tehas üks esimesi omataolisi Saksamaal. Kuni 1870. aastateni moodustasid põhiosa laevatehase toodangust väikese ja keskmise suurusega alused: seal ehitati puksiire, parvlaevu ning kuni 60 meetri pikkusi kauba- ja reisilaevu; samuti hakati ehitama sõjalaevu Saksamaa jaoks. Laevatehase esimene välisklient oli Hiina, kellele ehitati aastatel 1883 kuni 1887 viis soomuslaeva. See oli Saksa laevatööstuse suur läbimurre välisturul. Hiljem said Vulcani laevatehase klientideks veel Jaapan, Kreeka, Uruguay ja Venemaa. 20. sajandi algul hakkas laevatehas ehitama suuri ja keskmisi kauba- ja reisilaevu. Enamasti oli tegemist Saksa firmade tellimusega, kuid täideti ka välisriikide tellimusi. Laevatehase koostöö Venemaaga algas sõjalaevade ehitamisest 19. sajandil, hiljem importis Venemaa tehases valmistatud tehnosüsteeme

  • Art and Beauty
    Kadi Polli AUTUMN SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TARTU’S DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY: ART AND BEAUTY The traditional Autumn School of the University of Tartu’s Department of Art History was conducted on 16 and 17 October 2014 in cooperation with the Tartu University Art Museum and Tartu Art Museum, under the provocatively grand name of “Art and Beauty”. On the one hand, the objective of the undertaking was to introduce the development and modification of the concept of beauty in the history of aesthetics and art; and on the other hand, to examine the problematic relationship that contemporary art and theory has with beauty. Thus, the first day of the Autumn School was devoted to the classical tradi- tions of beauty and their peak at the turn of the 19th century, when the University of Tartu was reopened, its ensemble of buildings built and the art museum established. The topic of ideal masculine beauty in the classical art tradition was covered as a separate topic. In addition to the presentations, the interest of the Enlightenment in the human body and antique sculpture was associated with the art project created specially for the Autumn School by Jaanus Samma, a respected and well-known young Estonian artist. He made an “incursion” into the environment of the first day at the Autumn School – into the exposition at the University of Tartu Art Museum – and viewed the period of re-discovering of the antique era from his unique artist’s perspective.

Many different cultures and peoples have passed across the relatively small territory of our state during the centuries, and all have left their traces in some form or another. The twists of history are an eternal subject for artists and writers, and although our country is small in its population, it is great and rich in its art, literature and culture. These recount the story of our people and so help to tell it to the wider world. We are proud to be able to say that art in Estonia continues to develop in many ways. The range of exhibitions at home and the international efforts of Estonian artists and curators shape the contemporary face of Estonian art. It should also be noted that Estonia has had a national pavilion at the Venice Biennale since 1997, one of the great events of cultural affairs and the oldest and best- known of art exhibitions.

Its origins date back to 1920, when a group of sailors began to collect valuable nautical material. A century later, it is the most visited museum in the country and occupies several buildings, including the old hangar in Seaplane Harbor. This new use made it possible to recover one of the most important 20th- century buildings in the Baltic region in terms of constructive and technological relevance. Built between 1916 and 1917, these three hangars were pioneering designs in the introduction of concrete to the region. Because of their size, typology and, above all, their age, they are of international relevance in the development of construction technologies using reinforced concrete. The design consists of three very thin shells, only 12 cm thick, with a square floor plan of 40 meters per side, supported only by the corner pillars. Despite this enormous value, in 2009, the poor condition of the building meant that its integrity was at risk.
