The Tartu City Government is planning a cultural centre, which will become a high-quality public space in the heart of Tartu, containing culture for all city residents and visitors to Tartu.
The cultural centre in the heart of the city ...
… creates modern conditions for the Tartu Art Museum, enabling it to host world-class guest exhibitions in Southern Estonia and to exhibit masterpieces of Estonian art hidden away in collections, for which there are currently no suitable conditions for exhibition.
… creates modern and versatile opportunities for the Tartu City Library to bring literature and reading to everyone’s fingertips and to promote hobby education, lifelong learning and social activities.
… significantly increases the number of participants in culture, as it attracts an estimated 6-10 times more visitors to the art museum and 2 times more to the library.
… brings more events to Tartu, because concerts, performances and conferences can be organized in the multifunctional hall with up to 500 seats.
… creates new jobs and suitable opportunities for the creation of businesses that support the various functions of the building.
