Bus tour “Journey with Amandus”

This year’s Museum Night programme is dedicated to the sculptor Amandus Adamson (1855-1929). The Harju County Museum, in cooperation with the Amandus Adamson Studio Museum, is organising a bus tour “A Journey with Amandus“, introducing his life and work. The bus departs on 16 May at 17.30 from the parking lot next to Keila church. During the tour (Keila-Paldiski-Keila), both museums will be visited. Adamson’s life will be introduced by Tiina Laanejärv, Janne Jaagant and Kaisa Marie Sipelgas.

Places are limited, so register as soon as possible via the registration form or by calling +372 5550 0354. Reservations can be made by phone Mon-Thu 9.00-16.00. Bus bookings are subject to availability. We kindly ask you to arrive at least 10 minutes before the departure of the bus.
