A new art gallery is set to open in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town on June 2nd. Kunstikelder Artman will mark its debut with an exhibition dedicated to one of Estonia's most celebrated graphic artists, Eduard Wiiralt.

The opening exhibition, titled "Wiguriga Wiiralt", brings together a carefully curated selection of Wiiralt's works sourced from the private collections of his devoted admirers. This gives visitors a rare opportunity to view pieces that are not typically accessible to the general public.

Eduard Wiiralt (1898–1954) is widely regarded as one of the greatest Estonian visual artists, known internationally for his extraordinarily detailed etchings, drypoints, and drawings. His works, often dark and symbolic in nature, have earned him lasting recognition both in Estonia and abroad.
