Educational program
Discover. Learn. Educate.
Fotografiska Tallinn is a contemporary museum of photography, art & culture. Located in the heart of Telliskivi Creative City, in Tallinn (as well in New York, Stockholm, Berlin, and Shanghai), our venue stays open until late, featuring three to four diverse exhibitions at a time.
To bring young minds closer to art, we invite teachers to bring their classes to Fotografiska. Everything experienced in our museum supports social subjects taught in schools, such as civics, geography, history, as well as arts and music.
We offer guided tours for single exhibitions or throughout the entire venue. Optionally, students can take home educational and engaging worksheets with attention and observation exercises to reinforce what they've seen. These worksheets help to better understand different cultures and allow exploration of the deeper aspects of art – finding meanings and references behind the photos and seeing the connections between art and our culture and daily lives.
Fotografiska has joined the Ministry of Culture's support measure Kultuuriranits, which promotes organizing lessons outside of classrooms. The financial support of Kultuuriranits covers basic school grades 1–9, ensuring that every young person in this age group gets at least one cultural experience per academic year.
Our educational program at Fotografiska is suitable for preschoolers, younger school-age children, as well as lifelong learners. The tour price for school groups is €65 + €3 per student. Teachers participate for free.
Children have diverse wishes and needs, so please contact us – this way, we can offer an exciting program tailored to your needs: fototuur.tallinn@fotografiska.com

Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen
Kaleidoscope
Blurring the lines between photography and painting, reality and imagination, this exhibition delves into the human psyche and body. Trained as a medical doctor, Ebbesen explores the intersection of science and art. Her works act as visual experiments, inviting viewers to interpret the body and mind through their own gaze.

Bruce Gilden
Why These?
Bruce Gilden’s fiercely bold exhibition 'Why These?' shines a light on the broad spectrum of society, bringing to center stage real people from back alleys, everyday life, and the raw, unvarnished realities of street culture. With his provocative, close-up style and dark humor, Gilden serves a brighter purpose – to foster greater understanding between people. By exposing what lies just beneath the surface, he captures the fears that shape how we see ourselves and those around us.
