Avamisel tuleb näitamisele Rein Raamatu omanäoline ekraaniteos “Põrgu” (kestvus 17 min), mille juhatab avamisel sisse vanameister ise. Filmis esile tõstetud tuntumaid Wiiralti teoseid Kabaree, Põrgu ja Jutlustaja saab väljapanekul ka oma silmaga näha. Ühtlasi on võimalus pilk peale heita Viinistu Tünnigaleriides avatud Rein Raamatu enda näitusele "Ülevaade tehtust".

Viinistu Kunstisadam on suur ja lai ning avastamisruumi jagub. Selleks, et saaksime muuseumi uksed avatuna hoida palume siseruumides liikumisel arvestada 2+2 reeglit ja kanda maski.

Eduard Wiiralt (1898-1954) was a master of graphic art whose depth of content, vibrant style and technical virtuosity have been a significant influence in the development of Estonian graphic art since the 1930s. In addition to 400 engravings, his legacy includes hundreds of monotypes, thousands of drawings and sketches and a small number of paintings and sculptures. The largest collection of his works is held by the Art Museum of Estonia.

The Wiiralt collection at Viinistu Art Museum is not only remarkable for its size, but also for its diversity. More than 200 pieces are showcased here, of which more than half are prints, while the other half are large drawings and sketches. The collection provides an excellent overview of the artist's oeuvre, from his time in Paris (his golden period, from 1925-1939) through the war years in Estonia and his post-war work.

For many years now, Viinistu Art Museum has dedicated one of its halls to Wiiralt's work. As part of the reorganisation and systematisation of the museum exhibition as a whole, the Wiiralt Hall has also been given a new look, showcasing a selection of the artist's greatest works from his distinctive and best-represented creative periods. In Wiiralt's time, prints were relatively small, intended for close inspection, and were preserved in folders, boxes or albums for centuries. In his own writings, he recommends storing prints in folders and keeping wall displays of graphic art as simple as possible. The works in the exhibition have been hung relatively low, which should make it possible to appreciate the subtle graphic design in detail and to attract younger audiences, which is one of the goals of the museum’s newly launched educational programme.
