Before the start of the new academic year, let's take a look at history.

 

The library has an exhibition that introduces three Estonian architects - Edgar Johan Kuusiku (1888-1974), Artur Perna (1881-1940) and Mihkel August Fromhold Kangro (1881-1932), who have significantly influenced the architecture of Estonia, including Tartu.

 

All of them studied at the Riga Polytechnic Institute at the beginning of the 20th century and were members of the Estonian academic fraternity Korporatsioon Vironia.

 

The exhibition is open until December 19.

 

Everyone is welcome!
