Begin at Kadriorg Palace

Start at the palace and examine the baroque exterior before deciding on museum entry

Kadriorg Art Museum presents foreign art

For a brief outing, combine the outside view with the walk towards Kumu rather than buying two visits automatically

Continue to Kumu

Follow the mapped connection to Kumu, whose collection focuses on Estonian art

Choose the exhibitions that fit the available time

This is a museum-to-museum link; the seaside memorial and Song Festival Grounds belong to a different Kadriorg route
