In an interview with exhibition coordinator Inga Jaagus, KUMU art museum showed how they are staging a dialogue between Estonian and German art.
Living in Estonia often means encountering German history in unexpected places. In architecture, in family stories, in museum collections, in the Baltic-German influences that shape the cultural landscape, and even in the German loanwords of Estonian. So when I first noticed the posters for Spiegel im Spiegel after its opening on October 24th, 2025 at KUMU, Tallinn’s main art museum, I felt that skipping the exhibition would mean overlooking one of those rare moments when this long cultural entanglement becomes visible in a single space.
