The photo exhibition captures dedicated bearers of Estonian culture, including famous Estonians, as well as many who are unknown to the public. The oldest of those photographed was born in 1918 and the youngest in 2017, which means that there is a portrait representing each year that the Republic of Estonia has existed.

The portraits depict, for example, composer Arvo Pärt, fashion designer Aldo Järvsoo, writer Hando Runnel, singer Tommy Cash, literary researcher Mihhail Lotman, lingerie designer Kriss Soonik-Käärmann, head of the clean-up campaign “Let’s Do It!” Eva Truuverk, the Moscow correspondent of Estonian Public Broadcasting Anton Aleksejev, children's book illustrator Ilon Wikland, writer and stage director Jim Ashilevi, conductor Paavo Järvi, Estonia’s oldest chocolate maker Otto Kubo, freestyle skier Kelly Sildaru, and many others.

The exhibition also features 100 views of the most popular places, buildings, emotions, achievements, and phenomena of Estonia, which will also help people, who are unfamiliar with Estonia, to get a sense of our culture, nature, technological achievements, cuisine, and traditions. The visuals are brought into a comprehensive whole by short texts in Estonian and English.

The portraits were captured by photographer Toomas Volkmann, co-author of the exhibition, and the photographers of the national scenes are Tõnu Tunnel and Tõnu Runnel.

The exhibition will be open in lobby B of the Estonian National Museum until 29 April 2018.
