Estonia National Museum

DGT Architects

Estonia National Museum or ERM (Estonian for Eesti Rahva Muuseum), is a modern infrastructure designed by starchitects Dan Dorell, Lina Ghotmeh, and Tsuyoshi Tane (previously known as DGT Studio).

With its 34.000 m² and more than 350m long, the building really sets a high bar regarding other museums in Estonia. Sharp glass corners, counterbalanced with huge metallic flaps and heavy concrete blocks make this building a unique experience in the neighboring countries.
