About
Culture.ee is managed by Estonian Institute. Estonian Institute was founded by Lennart Meri in 1988, officially in 1989. As an NGO, the institute is a partner for creatives as well as government departments. There are close ties with other cultural institutes, expatriate Estonian communities and universities.
