A Brief History of Mulled Wine
W andering
the streets
of Tallinn’s
Old Town in November, you’re bound to come across
the warm, spiced smell of mulled wine or glögg waft-
ing from one of the city’s many cafés. There are many
different recipes for this festive drink, but it’s usually
made with red wine and a combination of spices and
dried fruit. Every country seems to have their version
of the drink. In addition to mulled wine, the English
also enjoy mulled cider during the winter months.
Spices used are cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and mace.
The Germans and Austrians enjoy Glühwein during
the Christmas holidays, adding cinnamon, cloves,
star anise, citrus peel, and sometimes vanilla to the
red wine. Blueberry wine or cherry wine sometimes
replaces the red wine, and sometimes even rum is
added.
In Estonia we drink glögi. It’s also made with red
wine, sugar and spices such as cinnamon, cardamon,
ginger, cloves, and bitter orange. And for those who
want a bit of a kick, it's perfectly acceptable to add a
shot of vodka or akvavit. We’ve got the glögi thing down
to an art. Wander through any grocery and you find it
already mixed, all you have to do is heat it up, and add
raisins or blanched almonds if you like.
While November may be dark and rainy, there is no
cosier month to be in Estonia. Put on your warmest sweat-
er and head to one of the upcoming Christmas markets to
get in the holiday spirit. Enjoy a concert. And don’t forget
to try some traditional Estonian Christmas food, like blood
sausage and sauerkraut in Town Hall Square.
Happy travels!

Le Chateau, one of Tallinn’s few French restaurants is offering a wonderful Christmas menu in its candle-lit cellar dining room. For groups of six or more, book-
ings must be made two days in advance and the menu is 40 per person. There are eight cold appetisers, warm dishes include blood sausage and pork fillets, as well as tilapia. Don’t worry, vege-tarians aren’t forgotten either.
The festive evening is filled with the flavours, smells and colours of Christmas. The tasty salmon ter-
rine with caviar sauce is luxurious and the baked cheese with herbed pepper sauce tickles the taste buds. The smoked cheese that goes with the main course, adds wonderful flavour to the soft pork fillet.. The Christmas spirit can also be found in the fish that is paired with apples and different spices.
Dessert comes in the shape of a Christmas pudding with a crispy almond crust, a wonderful end to filling meal. ■

The small cellar restaurant Spice feels more like a post-Soviet bar that is only missing a dance floor in the middle of the room. The decor is nothing special, but that doesn’t matter because the most important thing is Spice’s won-derful Indian food. The secret, the owner Sabu Olbri is from Kerala and he’s always at the restaurant.
Kerala’s food is known for its heat, even by Indian standards, and the food at Spice is no excep-tion. But even in the spiciest dish-es, flavours like ginger, garlic, coconut and coriander are still clear and not masked by lots of chillies.
When we visited, we tried some of the spiciest dishes on the menu. To start, the chicken pakora tasted just like in India, remarked my dining companion who had just returned from there. For the main course, the pork vin-
daloo and southern Indian style prawns had a spicy twist.
The food was served together with rice and salad. The flavours persisted until the very last mouth-ful. Beer was the perfect accom-paniment to the food. It’s worth mentioning that a 500mL Saku cost 2.50, which for the Old Town is very reasonable. Also surprising was that the prices in the restau-rant were pretty reasonable for the Old Town in general. The menu also offered some more European dishes, though the reason to go to Spice is for the Indian food. ■

The long running Madisson cafe in the Radisson Blu Sky Hotel is closed for business. Estonia’s largest coffee shop chain will take over the locati-on in November, offering some of the same dishes once offered at Madisson.
Estonia’s largest street food and coffee seller Statoil will change its name over the next year and starting in 2017 will take on the brand name Circle K of the Couche-Tard family. Statoil opened in Tallinn’s train station or Balti jaam as a new coffee shop where you can buy pastries, hot dogs, and other savoury snacks, as well as coffee and drinks.
KwakInn, the Russian chain of Belgian bars opened its latest location in Tallinn. In St. Petersburg there are four locations. The selection of Belgian beers is enormous. Leffe is on draught and there are over one hundred bottled beers available. The menu offers Belgian favourites like mussels and tarte flambé.
Another cafe added itself to the many already located in the Kalamaja and Telliskivi area. Vana Torokse farm is a Harjumaa family company that sells smoked goods. Their shop in Kalamaja also has a cafe that offers daily lunch specials at reasonable prices.
Telliskivi’s newest cafe is the Renard Coffee Shop. It shares a space with the Speed Shop, a custom motorcycle workshop and store.
Located between Narva mnt and the World Trade Centre is the new Lime Buffet. The breakfast buffet is open 8.00-11.00 and lunch prices are calculated according to weight. The restaurant is open weekdays from 8.00-18.00. Lactose and gluten free meals are available.
The popular meat restaurant Talleke ja Pullike is now open in Viimsi. Located close to the Lavendel Spa, a spa known for its smoke sauna, in November, they will open a pool with a bar. ■

Since the start of the restaurant
competition in 2008, restaurants have been selected and rated every year for a list of the 50 best. The ratings have been criticised for the comparison between different sty-les of restaurants being unfair in that it compares apples with oran-ges. But whichever way you look at it, the list no doubt gives a good overview and an excellent gastro-nomical guide to the country.
Starting in Tallinn, Tchaikov-
sky has long held the number one spot in the city, that was until last year when NOA Chef’s Side stole the show. Tchaikovsky focuses on classic Russian cuisine with a French influence. It’s said that people come from far away to try their borscht with duck meat. NOA Chef ’s Side offers a five or seven course tasting menu pre-pared by head chef Tõnis Siigur. While the food is fantastic, many people visit NOA simply for the magnificent view of the city from across the bay.
To move further down the list, places like Salt in Kadriorg,
Kolm Sibulat in Pelgulinn, and Leib Resto & Aeg in Tallinn’s Old Town are worth checking out for their more casual dining scene. Salt, a tiny bistro changes its menu weekly and focuses on mediter-ranean inspired dishes. Kolm Sibulat has a little bit of every-thing, but all prepared in house including some fantastic ramen and curry. For a taste of some-thing more Estonian, Leib is the place to go. Everything is locally sourced and the menu plays with many traditional flavours.
Moving outside of the city, let’s not forget some of those places a little off the beaten track. Places like Põhjaka, Tammuri Farm, and OKO are worth the drive out of town for a unique dining experi-ence. Põhjaka was started by three chefs who decided to move to the country and restore an old manor house. This cosy house is now a favourite place to stop en route between Tallinn and Tartu for hearty home cooked meal. Tammuri Farm is about as far away as you can get from Tal-linn in Southern Estonia and is a
one man restaurant. Chef owner
Erki Saar takes groups by book-ing only, preparing creative meals and offering wine to match. OKO, owned by the same guys as NOA offer a beautiful seaside dining experience that is better in winter, when there are more chefs than service staff at work.

Tucked away on the fourth floor of the busy central Tallinn shopping centre Viru Keskus is a relaxing little massage studio where you can take a moment from your day to unwind. The idea for the centre came from owner Kaja Heinsalu’s
time in Asia. “It’s very common to stop for a short massage while shopping”, she explains. “And I thought, why not try it in Tallinn”.
Tool ja Tee is no ordinary place for a quick massage. Here, all of the masseurs are blind. Elve has worked as a masseuse for six years. Her technique is strong,
and she asks me many times throughout the massage if it’s too much. “It’s important that mas-sage is strong, but not painful”, she explains.
My visist starts with a foot massage. First, the feet soak for ten minutes in a magnesium bath. Like the name Tool ja Tee
(Chair & Tea) suggests, you are offered a cup of tea while you enjoy your massage. The foot massage last 30 minutes in total, with Elve touching on all the necessary spots.
Classic and sports massage are also offered, and if you’re not too comfortable taking off your
clothes, Too ja Tee also offer a chair massage. ■

It’s Thursday afternoon and the assignment is to do makeup for your partner in 15 minutes, and go! The clock is on and students are calmly working on their assign-ment. The teaching salon at the port location of the Estonian Beauty School is the first of its kind in Tallinn. “It offers a unique learn-ing environment that is both com-fortable and cosy. It’s not your clas-sic learning environment”, explains Aimar Karu, director of the school.
The school has 195 students in total, studying everything from hairdressing to cosmetics to mas-sage. Clients can call or make an appointment online on their web-site http://www.iluteeninduskool.ee/oppesalong. The most popular package among clients is the mani, pedi, facial package for 42. Stu-dents are supervised at all times during the appointments, guiding them and being there should they have any questions. “We provide a hands-on learning experience, that often offers better service than a regular salon, because the students
are being taught and supervised by some of the best teachers in their fields”, explain Aimar.
We tried the soothing facial, complete with neck massage. Make sure you have some time in your calendar because the entire appointment lasts one hour and 45 minutes. After your face is cleaned and exfoliated, your face and neck are massaged with a rich serum. This is the best part of course, because you don’t actually
realise how tense your face can be. Afterwards, a moisturising mask is applied and then finally moisturising cream to finish off. ■

TEXT STUART GARLICK
Y ou might have thought a trip to Tallinn would mean quiet, calm, pine-wood and northern-
European detachment, but it ain’t necessarily so. We’ve found three Hispanic-themed bars within a hundred metres of each other that will help you to spice up your life while showing the international nature of Estonia’s capital.
AnchoMüürivahe 17, Tallinn Old Town i2
Müürivahe is one of those Old Town streets which, thanks to Tal-linn’s tourist centre being a zone-less mish-mash of chintzy amber and wool shops, modish design shops and strip clubs, you might normally give a miss. However, you would be wrong to do so, because in skipping Müürivahe, you’d never get to Ancho, one of the Old Town’s overlooked gems.
The bar is not trying to offer luxury - it wants to give a straight-up taste of Mexico, with shirts and pictures from Mexican football on the walls, competing for space with Mexican wrestling memora-bilia. It’s a place to take your bud-dies and enjoy a light, hoppy Mex-ican beer, while forgetting about the fancy people who aren’t hav-ing as much fun as you.
Ancho is a frequent stop-off for Tallinn’s large American commun-ity, and often hosts the monthly meetings of an informal local chili and spice club, attracted by the wealth of beer snacks and sizzling burritos, which you can enjoy with your beers and your pals.
Self BaarVäike-Karja 8, Tallinn Old Town i2
At a more considered, sedate pace is Self, a quieter, but equally-good, bar around the corner on Väike-Karja street, close to the traditional tourist traps of Nimeta and Shoo-ters, but still far enough away that you don’t have to deal with recur-ring images of staggering drunk people. Self, as the name implies, is a place where you can contemplate and achieve a state of inner calm.
The wine is good-quality, the bar staff know their spirits,
and the whole ambiance is one of pressure-free enjoyment. As this is one of the Old Town’s best-kept secrets, you will find this is one of the few places in this part of town where you can talk to your friends without shouting to be heard.
Originally marketed as a tapas bar, Self now says ”gin bar” on the window, and it’s pretty appropriate, because of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, you’ll want to walk into this one.

BailaSauna 1, Tallinn Old Town i2
After all that calm reflection, you’re ready for a party. There are other nightclubs in Tallinn. There are places that will gladly take your money time after time, as you down deceptively-expensive shots to get over the awful music being played. However, very few Old-Town clubs make you leave with a smile on your face as big as that with which you arrived. Baila does this.
Baila is not trying to be any-thing it is not. It’s a club wedged into the narrow Sauna street, close to places we have praised before, like Paar Veini and Frank, but this is a Latin party, with sweat, salsa and a sunny dispos-ition coming as standard. Though there is not much room inside, there are seating areas, waitress-
es who come to tables with your drinks - which are not overpriced – and somehow everyone finds enough space on the dancefloor to be satisfied.
What puts Baila above any-where else open as late (its doors do not lock until early in the morning) is the simple, but often overlooked, pleasure of not being patronised or looked-down upon. There is no sniffiness, everyone has a good time, and for one night, we are all equal in the fin-est sweatbox in town. ■
Baila stays open into the early hours.
Ancho is a place to take your buddies and enjoy a light, hoppy Mexican beer.

Tallinn is a great city to visit at any time of the year, but in December the thick, fluffy snow
turns it into a winter wonder-land that can be enjoyed by all ages. Allow us to take you on a trip through the Estonian cap-ital, examining some of the most enjoyable things you can do with your Christmas break.
If you retain a hankering for the sounds of the seventies, there's really no music that speaks of the decade more than legendary disco vocal group Boney M. The band's original vocalist Maizie Williams has embarked on a European tour, including one night in Estonia, at the Nordea Concert Hall. Wheth-er you were alive to hear ”Rivers of Babylon”, ”Daddy Cool” or ”Raspu-tin” when they were first hits, or you're someone who enjoys a retro party, Boney M have the tunes to make your evening light up. Wil-liams and the band come to Tal-linn on 20 December.
If you get your thrills from staring at the stars, or your chil-dren are always asking you about space, you might want to consider ”UFO: Circus From Another Plan-
et”. The extraterrestrial show was
nominated for Circus of the Year 2015, and gives you the chance to experience zero-gravity won-ders from across the universe. In case any of your family is curious what might be found on Mars, this will surely pique the excite-ment. Taking place at Tondiraba Ice Arena on 19 December, this acrobatic tour de force comes recommended.
If theatre is more your thing, you need to take a look at the Estonian Drama Theatre, which, on various dates up to and including 23 Decem-
ber, is hosting the latest comedy from Graham Linehan, the writer of hit TV sitcoms Father Ted and The IT Crowd. ”Five O'Clock is
Tea Time” is a heist comedy of the highest order, with Linehan's strong characterisation coming to the fore again, as a planned bank robbery only becomes apparent over the course of the play.
The Estonian Opera House and
Ballet Theatre is a must at Christ-mas time. There's something about sitting in the opulence of the Tsar-ist-era auditorium that makes you appreciate all the more what you are there to watch. There are also various packages to suit all people, in all price ranges. On 20 Decem-
ber, the Estonian National Opera Christmas Concert takes place, and you get the opportunity to hear some of Estonia's greatest voices
take on the wide-ranging festive songbook. Tickets are available, but will go quickly.
If ballet is more your prefer-ence, Tchaikovsky's ”Nutcrack-
er”, probably the most famous dance production of all time, has another run at the Ballet Theatre, beginning on 25 Nov-
ember and ending on 19 Decem-
ber. Everything about this clas-sic is magical, but to experience it with dancers of the calibre of the Estonian National Ballet is to see a treat. Ben Stevenson is the director as Clara travels to the world of sweets, the Mouse King, toy soldiers, and the giant Christmas tree.
Thinking about giant Christ-mas trees, there's one in the cen-tre of Raekoja Plats, as every year – and this forms the focal point of Tallinn's captivating Christmas Market, where you can enjoy a mulled wine and warm your hands with hand-made woollen mittens while taking in a variety of different live performances. People come from around the world to enjoy the wonders of a Tallinn Christ-mas, and it's really no wonder they would, when you see it for yourself.
If you possibly can, you should support the Christmas
Bazaar being held by the Inter-
ChristmasThe annual Christmas Bazaar celebrates its tenth year.
See Tchaikovsky's ”Nutcracker” at the Estonian National Ballet.
”Five O'Clock is Tea Time” is a heist comedy of the highest order.

This year marks 150 years since writer Lewis Carroll pub-lished Alice in Wonderland. The Estonian Children’s Lit-erature Centre talks about the famous author’s tea drinking customs.
Curator Viive Noor called upon tens of illustrators to make illustrations for the exhibit. On display are the works of 72 artists from 19 different countries, like Italy, Belarus, Israel, and Hungary.
The illustrations depict Alice along with the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the White
Rabbit. Smaller visitors can admire the illustrations with the help of a stool.
In addition to the illustrations there are also beautiful tea sets and different editions of the famous book. In the display case there is Nancy Wiley’s original Alice doll.
The Estonian Children’s Lit-erature Centre is located in the Old Town, near the Fat Mar-garet tower. ■

Spider the Architect and Aole the Engineer is the name of the new exhibit. The name describes the new exhibit perfectly because people take many ideas from how animals live.
The exhibit explains why the honeycomb has six sides and how moles build tunnels that don’t shake, the exhibition explains, for example, using beehives in house construction.
The exhibition hall is divided between the spider, snail, bee, stork, and human. Visitors will receive tons of informa-tion about their nat-ural habi-tats, like the bee-hive or the mole tunnel.
Judging by the
laughter, the spider web made from velcro straps is a favour-ite for children 150 cm and smaller to hang from. Vis-

For those of you not familiar with the story, it goes like this: Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British Naval officer Robert Falcon Scott were on two separate expeditions in 1911 for the South Pole. Sadly however, one was not to return. The Race to the End of the Earth is a tale of adventure and hardship, triumph and sorrow, and of course courage and bravery.
Learn about nature and wildlife in the Antarctic, climate and weather conditions, as well as modern day Antarctic exploration, which also shows what a camp today looks like. And did you know that Estonians have a long history of Antarctic exploration too? The exhibit finishes with a look at Estonians who have gone to Antarctica and their missions there.

Paks MargareetaFat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortificati-on tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diame-ter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first
encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea. Pikk 70, Tallinn a2
Sometimes you just don’t have enough time to see everyt-hing, but on the Tallinn City Tour you just might. Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour opera-tes in ten different languages and is guided by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights. One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day.
Must-see sights of the Old TownTEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV
Viewing Platforms Kohtu Platform - offers one of the best views of the Old Town. The impressive tower of the Niguliste Church seems at arm's length. The red-tiled roofs with white edges are characteristic of Tallinn. Tallinn b1
Patkul Platform - shows both a view of St Olaf’s Church, and part of the city wall. The church was even taller in medieval times and the tallest building in the world in its time. Nowhere else can you see the city wall from a better angle. Tallinn b1
Kiriku Platform - the platform at the end of Kiriku Street faces west and offers a view of splendid and romantic sunsets. Tallinn b1
Raekoja platsTallinn’s Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s. Tallinn Old Town h 1-2
St Olaf’s Church (Oleviste kirik)Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town beneath, but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of Toompea Hill, and the upper town. The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inhabited by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea, was inhabited by nobility. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town e2
Katariina käikBlink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Püha Katariina kloos-ter) is the oldest building in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinn’s first Italian restaurants. Tallinn Old Town h 2-3
RaeapteekThe Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is one of Europe's oldest pharmacies, which still operates in its original location, on Town Hall Square. Tallinn Old Town h1
Toompea CastleThe Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify indepen-dence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Riigikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn b1
Kiek in de Kök and the Bastion TunnelsThe Kiek in de Kök tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kök means “look into the kitchen” in Low German, as this was one of the main things soldiers spent their time doing while on the lookout for intruders. Kiek in de Kök dates back to the 15th century. The tower is 38 metres tall, and the walls are four metres thick.Komandandi tee 2, Tallinn b1
KGB MuseumA fascinating museum about Soviet history in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB sur-veillance. The rooms were equipped with microphones, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests.
The museum is only accessible by guided tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian. English tours fill up quickly so bookings are recommended. Viru väljak 4, Tallinn b2

Hiiumaa, and Muhu.
Lakes: Lake Peipsi, located on the border
between Russia and Estonia, is Europe’s
fourth largest lake (3,555km2).
Kalamaja & KopliKalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. Since the 14th cen-tury, Kalamaja has served as Tallinn’s main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories
opened. The colourful wooden hous-
es you still see today were built in the
1920s and 1930s to house the grow-
ing working population. Kalamaja
has seen a revival over the last few
years as artists and other bohemian
types have moved in for the large
spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants
and cafés began to open, and the
area continues to grow.
Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam)Küti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, TallinnBy tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop.
Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow living and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s? The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines
built in the UK in the mid 1930s.
Another sight is an authentic rep-
lica of the Short Admiralty Type
184 seaplane, a British two-seat
reconnaissance, bombing, and
torpedo carrying folding-wing
seaplane used in the Estonian
War of Independence in the early
1920s and later for mail service.
The museum is located in the for-
mer seaplane hangars built during
WWI by the Russian tsar. The con-
struction is architecturally unique
since it was the largest armoured
concrete ceiling in the world at the
time of construction.
KadriorgKadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherine’s Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century. The park and the palace were built by Peter the Great, who apparently
helped in its building. As was cus-
tomary at the time, the main house
was named after his wife. There
are plenty of other things to see in
this beautiful and prestigious park.
From the Kadriorg Palace, head
straight along the park trail to the
Russalka monument, located at
the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The
famous Song Festival Grounds
(Lauluväljak) are only a short walk
from the park as well.
PiritaPirita is an area located a short distance to
the east of the city centre. Start by visiting
the ruins of St Birgitta’s Convent (Pirita
klooster) whose colourful history dates
back to the 15th century. Its proximity to the
Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as
part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach
can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in
summer. Also located a short distance from
the beach is the city’s Botanical Gardens
(Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn
TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as
it not only provides a number of interactive
exhibits but also offers one of the best views
of the city and the district.

Estonian Open Museum (Eesti Vabaõhu-muuseum)Vabaõhumuuseumi tee 12, Tallinn.
Visitors can catch a glimpse of the
Estonian countryside and village life
from the past. The venue has a dis-
tinctive rural atmosphere that includes
various farm buildings as well as its own
church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several
mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a
dancing area, and a village swing add to
the character of the place. Some of the
country’s iconic windmills can also be
seen. Various demonstrations, displays
and interactive activities help bring the
past to life and provide visitors with a fun
and educational experience.
Patarei Prison (Patarei Vangla)Kalaranna 2-2a
By tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre
to the Linnahall stop.
Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse
into gloomy Soviet era prison life.
For a small entrance fee you can
take a self-guided tour through the
dark halls of this old sea fortress that
has served as a barracks, and then
as a prison during Soviet times.

TEXT STUART GARLICK,
PHOTOS KUMU, ANDREI CHERTKOV
There's plenty to grab your attention if you pay a visit to Estonia's museum of modern
art, KUMU, in the Kadriorg area of Tallinn. This autumn you have a choice of a series of ongoing exhibitions, or special displays that will only be there for a short time. Whatever you choose, you're sure to learn something you didn't expect to.
We begin our look at KUMU with one of the best permanent
exhibitions at the museum, ”Dif-
ficult Choices: Estonian Art from
the End of the Second World War
to Re-Independence.” In spite of the slightly foreboding title, this is a display that will show you not only how Estonian artists com-promised their vision during the Soviet occupation, but how they used subtle humour and in-jokes in order to find joy amid the dif-ficulties being suffered. There are many poignant memories of a time Estonia seeks to remember in order to move on from.
For a different take on the power of art, head to a new tem-porary exhibition, ”Saga. Iceland:
Art & Narrative,” which focuses on narrative art – that is, art that tells a
story. It does so because of Ice-land's rich storytelling tradition, going back many centuries, and currently spanning 1,000 new releases a year from Icelandic publishing houses, according to KUMU, in spite of the rocky island only having below 300,000 native speakers. Running from now until
20 March 2016, this promises to open your eyes to the culture of a nation much-loved for its indi-viduality.
For an edgier, stranger view of the world, you need to look at the exhibition of paintings by
Concordia Klar and Peeter Ulas, two Estonian artists who are considered among the found-ers of a surrealist movement still going strong in the Baltic nation. You'll definitely experience all kinds of new emotions looking at the surprising early drawings of these unconventional art-ists. The exhibition runs until 31 December. ■

Tallinn’s public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three
use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was
introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is
your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and
are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free.
Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader.
Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of
time on-line at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee
