On Thursday, 29 May at 18:00 there will be a guided tour at the exhibition 'Silver Girls. The Retouched History of the Baltic States', led by Indrek Grigor, one of the curators of the exhibition.

'Silver Girls' invites the visitor to discover the forgotten stories of Baltic photographers, to find out known-unknown names and to immerse themselves in the life of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries captured in photographs. Indrek Grigor is an exhibition curator, art critic and photography researcher at the Tartu Art Museum. Together with Šelda Puķite and Agnė Narušytė, he has selected the work of seven early photographers from Estonia for the exhibition, uncovering a number of historical detectives hidden by years of oblivion. Who is the most known unknown Estonian photographer? How did an album of photos from gold mines in Siberia end up in Anna Kukk's photo archive? What is the secret behind the braid of Marie Riet's hair on display in the exhibition? Listen to these unexpected stories and interesting discoveries on a public curatorial tour.

The tour is free of charge with the purchase of a gallery visitor ticket. Registration: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/szP7m3nbsH

The tour will be conducted in English.
