Marie Mergler's curator tour at the exhibition „Mire“

The exhibition Mire by Kristina Popov opens at the University of Tartu Botanical Garden on 4 September at 5 p.m. The exhibition, focusing on mires, will be on view until 21 November.

Mire is dedicated to the ecosystem of mires and their importance as the largest natural carbon sinks. At the heart of the exhibition are peat mosses (Sphagnum), which form a dense ground cover in bogs and fens and are the main component of peat. In Estonia, 40 species of peat moss have been recorded, including 12 rare species, two of which have not been found in the past 20 years despite extensive searches.

On 6 September at 1 p.m., a curator’s tour led by Marie Mergler will offer visitors a deeper insight into individual works and invite them to engage in dialogue. Participation in the tour is free and does not require prior registration.
