Kumu Opens International Sámi Rights Exhibition in September 2026

Kumu will open the international group exhibition ‘ei algust ega lõppu. Saami maailma ülesehitamine’ on 11 September 2026. On view through 14 March 2027, the exhibition occupies the museum’s fifth-floor contemporary-art gallery in Tallinn.

The exhibition examines the complex path of Sámi Indigenous peoples’ rights and self-determination in building a decolonial world. Kumu is the main building of the Art Museum of Estonia and the country’s largest and most representative exhibition venue.

A public opening programme is scheduled for Saturday, 12 September, one day after the exhibition opens. It will include curator-led tours of the exhibition, a workshop in an education room created at its centre, and a discussion with participating artists.
