The name Pallas is a familiar one in the cultural history of Estonia, but most of us lack deeper knowledge about it. Nevertheless, the society, born at the same time as the Republic of Estonia, played a vital role in the development of Estonian cultural thought and sensibilities. In addition to artists, Pallas united people from other areas, such as writers, architects, art historians and art benefactors. In 1919, the society founded a school of arts, which became Estonia’s first institution providing higher art education and lifted our art education to the same level as the rest of Europe. The society organised a number of exhibitions and managed – before its forced liquidation in 1940 – to initiate the establishment of the Tartu Art Museum.

Curators: Ülle Kruus (Art Museum of Estonia) and Enn Lillemets (Art Society Pallas)
