Throughout his short but brilliant career, Mägi constantly reinvented his style. This exhibition traces that journey: from the radiant Norwegian landscapes that first brought him acclaim, to striking portraits that reveal his bold use of colour and expressive brushwork.

You’ll see Mägi’s breakthrough works from the Baltic islands, painted during summers in Saaremaa and Vilsandi, where wild flora and vast seas inspired some of his most vibrant canvases. The final room brings you to Southern Estonia, where Mägi’s late landscapes capture shimmering lakes and dramatic skies, reflecting his fascination with nature, rhythm, and the mystical.

Along the way, discover how Mägi absorbed influences from Cubism and German Expressionism, while forging a style that was entirely his own: intense, experimental, and deeply connected to the world around him.

Alongside Mägi’s masterpieces, you’ll encounter a new commission by contemporary Estonian artist Kristina Õllek. Created during a residency in the Saaremaa islands, her sculptural installation uses sea salt, limestone, and cyanobacteria to explore the living, evolving nature of landscape, placing past and present in powerful dialogue.

Don’t miss this chance to experience a visionary artist whose work will change the way you see the world.
