The legendary Langebraun – lecture by Anne Ruussaar at the “White Gold” exhibition

From 30 October 2026 the Maarjamäe Palace of the Estonian History Museum hosts the exhibition “White Gold. The story of Estonian porcelain”, which traces the history of Estonia’s porcelain industry. The exhibition is accompanied by a lecture series in which experts look at the story of Estonian porcelain from different angles.

On Saturday, 13 March 2027, a lecture by exhibition curator Anne Ruussaar is about the legendary Langebraun.

Decorated objects from the legendary Nikolai Langebraun porcelain factory have been part of Estonian everyday life for almost a century. Although the company did not make porcelain itself, its decor holds a distinctive place in the history of Estonian applied art and design. Its search for a style produced an eclectic output that reflects the taste of its time, top-level hand decoration and stylised national ornament. The lecture maps the company’s history, introduces its owners and decorators, and gives an overview of its products and best-known patterns and marks.

Come and discover the background of one of the most exciting chapters in Estonian design history!

The lecture takes place in the fireplace hall of Maarjamäe Palace at 13:00.

With a lecture ticket you can also visit the exhibition at Maarjamäe Palace on your own.
