In addition to its function as a library, The National Library of Estonia also serves as a cultural center, hosting exhibitions, conferences, performances, concerts and other cultural events.

The National Library is a convenient venue for exhibitions as it is a cultural institution by nature and therefore co-operates with many other cultural institutions in Estonia and abroad.

As a result of shared ideas, spectacular joint ventures have taken place with the participation of more than two partners. Our co-operation partners include other libraries, cultural societies and foreign embassies.

The interior of the building with its exhibition halls and galleries has inspired artists to exhibit their work here. The library has a large number of readers and other visitors, this being another factor to contribute to the success of exhibitions in the building. The exhibitions include book exhibitions and displays of art and photography by professional artists as well as students and hobby artists. In 1996 the Eduard Wiiralt Gallery displaying 62 graphics was opened in the National Library.

The conference centre has been operating since the opening of the building in 1993. Around 500 events ranging from training seminars to international conferences are held each year. Besides its convenient location, the conference centre offers a good choice of conference rooms, professional equipment and service.
