The Mikkel Museum is located in the former kitchen building of Kadriorg Palace. The history of the building goes back to 1721, when the palace and park ensemble were founded in Kadriorg, together with the predecessor of the current museum building. In addition to the palace kitchen, the group of auxiliary buildings included an icehouse, a bread storage and a table linen storage. Of these historic buildings, only the icehouse next to the museum in Weizenbergi Street has been preserved.

The building was adapted to the needs of a museum in 1995, when Johannes Mikkel donated the core of his art collection to the Art Museum of Estonia. The Mikkel Museum, which was refurbished in order to show the collection permanently in its entirety, opened to the public on 25 June 1997.

The permanent exhibition of the Mikkel Museum provides a thorough overview of Johannes Mikkel’s collection, showing his love of art and art history, his efforts at preserving cultural heritage and his desire to surround himself with beauty.

Short tours “Conversations on Art”

In the permanent exhibition galleries, experienced museum guides welcome visitors and, at selected times, share stories connected to artworks, giving artists of past centuries or the figures depicted in their works new voices.

The short tours take place every half hour in different museum galleries and also in the permanent exhibition space of the Kadriorg Art Museum. More detailed guidance is available at both museums.
