Besides of contemporary art, several  historical impressionist paintings by artists from the Victor Westerholm´s art community in Önningeby as well as a selection of traditional wedding carpets (ruges) are presented in the show.

The exhibition was opened in the Museum of New Art on 16 April and  will last through the end of May. The fantastic birdhouses created by children from Åland together with local artists, however, will tempt Estonian birds to nest in them on lime trees near the museum. The first birdhouse named as The 4 Star Hotel was inhabited by a couple of sparrows, the second was an old radio and its inhabitants were great tits.

Hereby, welcome to enjoy birdlife in the art houses on trees of the Nikolai Street in Pärnu:
