Art is definitely a thing here in Tartu. By having the biggest amount of bohemian sweaters per capita, it truly is no wonder that there are tons of people living here, who call themselves artists. And those who can’t really draw, try to stay cultural by just absorbing the surrounding creative vibes.

If you want to stop and smell the roses then that's the place to go to. Tartu Botanical Gardens were founded already in 1803 and in 1806 the moved to the current location. Between the plants you'll find interesting sculptures from Tartu Art Museum's collections. Try finding the "napping bear" or the "drowner".

The Tartu Art Museum is housed in the Pisa Tower of Tartu. This oddly leaning building looks as if it was just a little bit tipsy, but then again how sober is art? Tartmus house was built in 1793. Due to the soggy bank of the River Emajõgi the house has tilted 5,8 degrees, which is greater than the Pisa tower.

It is rustic, but still with a warm feeling. A hands on museum where a lot of the machines are working and you can even try them out to make a postcard or notebook. They organise a lot of workshops, too, so there is always a reason to return.

In the attic of the main building of Tartu University is another intriguing place- the little room where the students who infringed the university's Code of Conduct used to "do time" and left verses or monograms in Latin and german on the walls, ceiling and the doors. Ask about the lock-up in the Univeristy Art Museum.

Look for a sign in big blue letters that says "KUNSTIPOOD", meaning artshop, and you will find Mikkel's Gallery. But it is so much more than that - it's also a gallery and pottery and porcelain studio. You can buy some practical items or beautiful art pieces for your home.
