Pikk Street (Pikk ta"nav) in Tallinn s Old Town, specifically showing the facades of two notable Art Nouveau buildings at numbers 18 and 16. The building on the right with the dramatic facade featuring dragon sculptures is the famous "Dragon Gallery" (Draakoni galerii). Designed by architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910, it is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture. The facade is adorned with fantastical elements, including two large dragons flanking the ground-floor window, Egyptian women, and sphinxes. It currently houses an art gallery managed by the Estonian Artists Association. The building directly next to it on the left (the narrower one with large windows) is Pikk 16. It currently houses the BonVerre shop, visible through the ground-floor window, which specializes in beverages and gourmet products. Further down the street on the left (the grey building with the green flag) is the Kanuti Gildi Saal (St. Canute s Guild Hall), a historic building that now serves as a contemporary performing arts center.

Fac,ade of Pikk 18, arguably the most famous Art Nouveau building in Tallinn, known as the Dragon Gallery (Draakoni Galerii). Designed by the renowned Baltic German architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910, this building is a prime example of late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture. The two massive, sculpted dragons flanking the ground-floor window are the building s namesake and most iconic feature. They were created by the sculptor August Volz. Above the dragons, the fac,ade features two stern female figures with Egyptian headdresses projecting from the pilasters. These, along with sphinxes and other exotic ornaments on the upper levels, reflect the eclectic and fantastical influences typical of Rosenbaum s style. The large, horseshoe-shaped window on the ground floor and the undulating gable at the top create a sense of movement and fluidity that contrasts sharply with the rigid lines of the adjacent classical and medieval buildings. Originally built as an apartment house for the merchant Reinhold Reichmann, the ground floor has housed the Draakoni Gallery since 1983, an exhibition space managed by the Estonian Artists Association. The green light visible in the window belongs to a fashion boutique or exhibition currently occupying the space. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025
