Discover Pop Art at PoCo Museum
Add a splash of colour to your Tallinn programme with a visit to PoCo, the only pop art museum in Northern and Eastern Europe. Located in the vibrant Rotermann Quarter, this unique venue showcases works by world-famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Banksy, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Yayoi Kusama and Jean-Michel Basquiat, alongside contemporary Estonian talent.
The permanent exhibition was revamped in October 2026 and takes visitors on a journey through the various facets and eras of pop art – from street art to comics, from “Dance of Death” to Warhol’s iconic soup cans and Marilyn Monroe series. A brand-new digital hall brings pop art to screens and moving images, while the far end of the floor offers a lavish finale where different artists, works and techniques come together in unexpected ways. No two visits need to be exactly alike.
New at PoCo Museum: A Fresh Perspective on Pop Art
Until 25 April 2027, the museum’s third floor hosts Bowie x Sukita, PoCo’s first major travelling exhibition and the first time Masayoshi Sukita’s photographs of David Bowie are shown in Estonia. Arriving in Tallinn from Gothenburg, the exhibition brings together more than 100 photographs capturing a creative partnership that lasted four decades.
It all began in 1972, when Sukita saw a poster of Bowie on a London street and knew he had to photograph him, even though neither spoke the other’s language. What was meant to be a single session grew into a lifelong collaboration that took Sukita from press conferences in Tokyo to studio sessions in Berlin and concert stages in New York. The result is a series that captures not only the artist but two worlds discovering one another. The exhibition and the revamped permanent exhibition can be visited on a combo ticket.
Groups can enjoy guided tours led by expert curators, offering insights into the stories behind the artworks and the evolution of pop art. Special themed tours are available upon request, including introductions to Estonian pop art and Andy Warhol’s legacy.
Founder’s Tour
For a truly exclusive experience, groups can book the highly sought-after Founder’s Tour led by PoCo founder and Estonian tech visionary Linnar Viik. This unique behind-the-scenes experience offers personal stories from Viik’s decades-long passion for collecting art and reveals the inspiration behind the museum’s remarkable collection spanning from the 1950s to the present day. The Founder’s Tour provides rare insights into both the artworks and the collector behind them, making it a memorable highlight for incentive groups and special events.
To make the visit even more memorable, groups can add a glass of sparkling wine or commission personalised pop art portraits as a unique souvenir. PoCo is also available for private events and exclusive after-hours visits.
Situated just a short walk from Tallinn’s Old Town, the Rotermann Quarter offers a mix of contemporary architecture, restaurants, cafés and shopping, making PoCo an easy addition to any group itinerary.
