The Adamson-Eric Museum is located in a historic residence on a romantic stepped street in Tallinn's Old Town and is dedicated to the work of Adamson-Eric (1902–1968), one of the most versatile Estonian artists of the 20th century. His distinctive paintings and applied art are characterised by elegance, subtle colour choices and wit. Adamson-Eric’s rugs, porcelain and ceramics were awarded two honorary diplomas (Diplômes d’honneur) at the 1937 International Exposition in Paris.
