Description
The University of Tartu Art Museum has the only antique art exhibition in Estonia. The exhibition consists of original size plaster-cast copies of the greatest sculptures from Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Greece. They were acquired in the 1860s from museums in England, Germany, France and Italy in order to promote students’ interest in and knowledge of art, history and culture.
The backdrop of the exhibition consists of ornamental Pompeian-style murals, which were painted in 1868 when the museum moved into its current residence in the left wing of the University of Tartu main building. It is the oldest interior specially designed for a museum in Estonia. These colourful wall paintings accentuate the white plaster sculptures.
The rare original death mask of philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) is also on display. Another copy of it is known to exist.
