“Inimeste elu” tapestry by Enn Põldroos (1985) located in Tallinna Linnahall.

The tapestry is 48 x 10 meters big, weighs close to 1 ton and took almost 7 years to finish (3 years for planning and 4 years for making the 1:1 scale drawings and weaving). The flat-weave carpet was woven by three weavers (Hilja Karri, Aino Stamm, Marika Hallangu) of the art collective ARS, who started work in September 1981 and finished in May 1985. The high-quality yarn used for this masterpiece was ordered from Italy.

Linnahall is a multi-purpose venue in Tallinn, Estonia. It is situated in the harbor, just beyond the walls of the Old Town, and was completed in 1980. The venue also features a heliport and a small seaport.
