* "Architectural drawing 2"
  May 2003 – May 2004
  "Architectural Drawing 2" was a new exhibition of the year of the Museum of Estonian 
  Architecture. It was a sequel to the exhibition called "Architectural Drawing as a 
  Document of Era" from 1993, which had been the first time when museum presented 
  its collections publicly.
  The exhibition of the year continued the tradition of annually changing permanent 
  exhibitions – the story of Estonian architecture was told through a different medium 
  every year. With last year's installation being five slideshows with special musical 
  background, the present one focused on traditional drawing.
  The exhibition introduced a selection of most interesting architectural drawings and 
  projects from the museum's collections, most of them were exhibited for the first 
  time. The selection began with coloured drawings of Villa Amend in Art Nouveau style 
  (architect Frithiof Mieritz, 1904), and ended with projects from the 1990s, when 
  architects started to prefer mouse to pencil. Most recent additions to the collection 
  are drawings by the well-known Estonian architects August Volberg, Edgar Velbri and 
  Valve Pormeister. Some of them were also exhibited here.
  Exhibition design by architect Hanno Grossschmidt.

  A solo exhibition of photographs featuring the work of Madame Yevonde, the 
  pioneering photographer who set up her first studio in London in 1914 and 
  developed a method of producing vivid colour prints, particularly associated with her 
  famous portraits of society women as Greek and Roman goddesses.

* "President Konstantin Päts and Tallinn in the 1930s"
  Spatial effect projects in the city centre in the 1930’s
  27 April – 23 May  2004
  Strong heads of state/personalities have been great builders throughout history. The
  exhibition of Tallinn in the Konstantin Päts Era set up a question:  how could 
  authoritarianism in city construction be evaluated? The exhibition Tallinn in the 
  Konstantin Päts Era induced the viewer to think about the continuity of city 
  construction as well as the role of the city and the state in ensuring this continuity. 
 

* The Luther Factory. Plywood and Furniture. 1877-1940 
  18 Juny – 5 Sept  2004
  The present exhibition had aim to introduce and represent A. M. Luther's history, 
  which has been undeservedly overlooked by design historians, and to emphasise its 
  important role both in plywood production and furniture design.

* A Matter of Art
  Contemporary Architecture in Switzerland
  11 Nov – 12 Dec  2004
  The purpose of this exhibition was to provide a "section" of Switzerland's most recent
  architecture, with a focus on sixteen buildings constructed between 1997 and 2001. 
  The reason why contemporary Swiss architecture has aroused so much interest is 
  arguably because it projects the notion of architecture as an art form. In the 
  selected buildings the architecture was underpinned by functional and contextual 
  givens, enabling us to appreciate the architecture for itself, though not in a way we 
  were accustomed to. Because - architecture, it's a matter of art. 
  Organizers Centre Culturel Suisse – Pro Helvetia, Arts Council of Switzerland.
