Kadrioru Kunstimuuseum

This is the Kadrioru Kunstimuuseum or Kadriorg Art Museum. It was the Kadriorg Palace. When the Tzars ruled Russia and Estonia, this was a summer "cottage" for the Tzars.

Peter the Great built it for his wife Catherine. Their daughter, Elizabeth, enjoyed coming here. The upper flower garden behind the palace has been restored in 18th century style.

The palace itself now is home to the foreign art collection of the Art Museum of Estonia. I enjoyed our time visiting this historic building.
