Estonia's Narva Museum Showcases National Identity
Published on 7.25.25
Estonia's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its history and museums, as reflected in the Narva Museum's exhibitions. The museum's programming highlights the country's importance of independence and freedom. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine are embroiled in a conflict over the works of 19th-century painter Ivan Aivazovsky, with both countries claiming ownership of his art. In another development, a Ukrainian worker is documenting losses and monitoring looting at a museum in exile, while Russia's Hermitage Museum has signed a culture deal with an Iranian research institute as part of Vladimir Putin's foreign policy strategy.
