Supporter
The main supporter of the Museum of Estonian Architecture is the Cultural Endowment of Estonia. The Endowment’s greatest support has been the co-financing of furnishings for the Rotermann Salt Storage in 1996, when the museum moved into its new building. This donation is commemorated by a plaque in the foyer of the Rotermann Salt Storage. Aid from the Cultural Endowment’s Architectural Foundation has made it possible to put up exhibitions, issue publications, organise lectures, purchase videos, subscribe to architectural magazines, purchase presentation equipment, order models, and much more. Support from the Cultural Endowment has been exceptionally important from the standpoint of developing the Museum’s activities in a situation, where state budgetary funds have been insufficient.
