Where art and heritage converge

The Latvian National Museum of Art is the most important art museum in Latvia and the first building in the Baltics designed specifically for the needs of an art museum.

After the reconstruction and renovation of the building Latvian National Museum of Art has acquired modern infrastructure and environment for the exhibition and preservation of works of art.

Accompanying events and educational programmes for different age groups provide an opportunity to improve knowledge about art history and contemporary art as well as to develop creativity.

The new underground volume contains storage space for 40 000 works of art as well as conservators' studios. The building houses the collections of Latvian painting, graphic art and sculpture encompassing the period from the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century.

The museum's building is an architectural monument of national significance. It is one of the most impressive historical buildings in the Riga Boulevard Circle.
