Art Museum of the University of Tartu

The Art Museum of the University of Tartu is located in the centre of Tartu in the university's historic main building on Ülikooli Street. A prominent feature of the museum is the Pompeian-style halls where visitors can explore ancient art and its later influence. The exhibitions feature full-size plaster casts of Greek sculptures as well as ancient coins, vases, and other artefacts. A special display includes a collection related to an Egyptian mummy. The museum offers an opportunity to discover art history in an environment different from the university's history museum located on Toome Hill. Visits depend on the operational arrangements of the museum in the main building.
