The museum dedicated to the works of Estonian artist Evald Okas has reopened in Haapsalu after a two-year renovation. The 19th century museum building underwent major structural refurbishment to modernise the gallery with new technical communication equipment and heating system.
Evald Okas (28 November 1915 – 30 April 2011) was best known for his portraits of nudes and working in the medium of charcoals. In 1947, Okas, along with Elmar Kits and Richard Sagrits painted the ceiling of the Estonian National Opera. Okas later became a professor at the Estonian State Art Institute.
