About the museum

Evald Okas Museum is a private museum which has been open to the public in the city of Haapsalu since the year 2003.

The mission of the museum is to collect, preserve, and exhibit the creation of Evald Okas and his family members. During the summer months, the work of Evald Okas, his family members and various other artists is displayed in an exhibition programme. In addition to the exhibition work, the museum also holds art courses and different cultural events. The museum is also unique for the way it has been built – it’s history goes back to the mid-19th century when it was originally built to be a tavern. The history of the house gives it a very distinctive individual feel.
