Katariina käik
On 11 September, I had cycled all day to the music of the renowned Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. This was in connection with the celebration of his 90th birthday on Radio Klara. There I heard that about 30 kilometres outside Tallinn, in the middle of the woods, his archive and information centre is located. I couldn't miss that!
When I arrived, the tavern was still full of bouquets of flowers. Two days earlier, he had celebrated his birthday here.
I stayed in the centre until closing time and wrote a separate article about it.
Roterman hipster district
The day before yesterday, I visited the old town of Tallinn. Today, something completely different was on the agenda: the Roterman hipster district, a young, modern neighbourhood with many stylish bars and restaurants. But that wasn't what I was after.
What particularly attracted me to that neighbourhood was the Pop and Contemporary Art Museum or ‘POCO’. What did I find there? As expected: works by the most famous pop art artists (Warhol, Lichtenstein), but also many interesting works by Estonian artists.
The photographs are all in the Tallinn album.

In Venice, I visited the Biennale at the Arsenale, the Giardini and various venues around the city. I also took the opportunity to see the Pinault collection at Punta della Dogana and a compelling exhibition by Michael Armitage at Palazzo Grassi.
